    WebAPIResource stores a copy of the generated serialized object for
    later use. This is because the caller may modify the contents, breaking
    what's later returned. We were using deepcopy() for this task, but that
    behaved very badly with Django models.
    
    We now have our own more light-weight function for safely cloning the
    data we care about from a serialized object. Fewer things need to be
    copied, and we know we're only duplicating what's needed.

    Review Board and Djblets unit tests pass.

    I didn't hit the breakage with Power Pack that I was previously hitting.
