Remove unnecessary ObjectId.copy() calls

When RevObject overrode equals() to provide only reference equality
we used to need to convert a RevObject into an ObjectId by copy()
just to use standard Java tools like JUnit assertEquals(), or to
use contains() or get() on standard java.util collection types.

Now that we have removed this override and made ObjectId's equals()
final (preventing any of this mess in the future), some copy()
calls are unnecessary.  Anytime the value is being used as an input
to a lookup routine, or to an equals, we can avoid the copy().

However we still want to use copy() anytime we are given an ObjectId
that may exist long-term, where we don't want the high cost of the
additional storage from a RevCommit extension.  So we can't remove
all uses of copy(), just some of them.
