Avoid copying the positions array into the evaluated edit hints array
that's used to support editing with deformed positions when there is
a topology-changing procedural operation. In a simple test in sculpt
mode with 706k curve points, memory usage went from 78 to 70 MB.
This adds more duplication would be ideal, mainly because retrieving
the data with write access and making implicit sharing info for arbitrary
arrays aren't abstracted by implicit sharing utilities. It may be possible
to improve both of those aspects, either now or in the future.
