tree-wide: Don't explicity disable copy-on-write when copying images

Since the copy helpers now copy file attributes as well, let's not
explicitly disable copy-on-write anymore when we copy an image. If
the source already has copy-on-write disabled, the copy will have it
disabled as well. Otherwise, the copy will also have copy-on-write
enabled.

This makes sure that reflinks always work as reflink is only supported
if both source and target are copy-on-write or both source and target
are not copy-on-write.
