Fix Rust E0507 by borrowing with & or cloning the value instead of moving it out of a reference.

Fix E0507 by borrowing the value instead of moving it, or by cloning it if the type implements Clone. Use & to borrow or .clone() to copy the data.

fn example(s: &String) {
    let borrowed = &s; // Borrow instead of move
    let cloned = s.clone(); // Clone if you need ownership
}

If you are trying to move out of a reference, you must dereference and clone, or change the function signature to take ownership (String instead of &String).
