Ensure deep copying of config defaults This commit adds deep copying operations when initializing config objects from a default config. This prevents the config from being a shallow copy of the default, ensuring that modifications to the config do not modify the default. In particular, this fixes a check in write_make_conf, where the PORTDIR variable is supposed to be only written to the generated make.conf when a non-default repo_basedir is set in /etc/catalyst/catalyst.conf. This check is never satisfied, because confvalues is a shallow copy of confdefaults, therefore both will always hold the same value for repo_basedir. For self.mounts / MOUNT_DEFAULTS this problem can also be observed, the modifications done to self.mounts are also visible in MOUNT_DEFAULTS. I am not aware of any bugs due to this shallow copy, but I would prefer adding a deep copy to prevent future bugs, in case a comparision against the default mounts is ever needed.
