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.
