[8.17](backport #6184) Avoid unnecessary copies during config generation

[mergify]

What does this PR do?

Remove some unnecessary copies when generating component configuration.

The first copy avoided is done because we want to replace the inputs key with the rendered inputs. A shallow copy is sufficient for this. I did find and fix a bug in Dict shallow copies while at it.

The rest of the copies have to do with applying vars to each AST node. We currently make a copy of each Node we do this for, but that's not necessary, as Apply creates a new Node with all the data recursively copied anyway. I've added a test to verify that Apply actually works this way.

Benchstat result vs main, using the benchmark from #6180:

Why is it important?

More performance is good! More broadly, this is an attempt to incrementally improve the problem from #5991.
