Use file tags to generate deep-copies
This drives most of the logic of deep-copy generation from tags like: // +deepcopy-gen=package ..rather than hardcoded lists of packages. This will make it possible to subsequently generate code ONLY for packages that need it *right now*, rather than all of them always. Also remove pkgs that really do not need deep-copies (no symbols used anywhere).
