hg: always create new localrepository instance

cachedlocalrepo.copy() didn't actually create new localrepository
instances. This meant that the new thread isolation code in hgweb wasn't
actually using separate localrepository instances, even though it was
properly using separate cachedlocalrepo instances.

Because the behavior of the API changed, the single caller in hgweb had
to be refactored to always call _webifyrepo() or it may not have used
the proper filter.

I confirmed via print() debugging that id(repo) is in fact different on
each thread. This was not the case before.

For reasons I can't yet explain, this does not fix issue4756. I suspect
there is shared cache somewhere that isn't thread safe.
