tests: perform a shallow copy instead of a deep copy Python 3 can't perform a deep copy because it looks like symbols in the locals() namespace are not deep-copyable. For the curious, somehow the deepcopy() is attempting to copy objects attached to the unittest.* functions for the running test! We don't use deepcopy() anywhere in the code base and a shallow object copy should be sufficient to test lock copying. Actually, I'm not sure why we even test this, as I couldn't find copy.copy() being used for lock copying either. Who knows. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5770

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
