[analyzer] Teach CloneDetector to find clones that look like copy-paste errors.

The original clone checker tries to find copy-pasted code that is exactly
identical to the original code, up to minor details.

As an example, if the copy-pasted code has all references to variable 'a'
replaced with references to variable 'b', it is still considered to be
an exact clone.

The new check finds copy-pasted code in which exactly one variable seems
out of place compared to the original code, which likely indicates
a copy-paste error (a variable was forgotten to be renamed in one place).

Patch by Raphael Isemann!
