copies: move from a copy on branchpoint to a copy on write approach
Before this changes, any branch points results in a copy of the dictionary containing the
copy information. This can be very costly for branchy history with few rename
information. Instead, we take a "copy on write" approach. Copying the input data
only when we are about to update them.
In practice we where already doing the copying in half of these case (because
`_chain` makes a copy), so we don't add a significant cost here even in the
linear case. However the speed up in branchy case is very significant. Here are
some timing on the pypy repository.

The extra cost in the linear case can be reclaimed later with some extra logic.
