copy.deepcopy strips off .design_info from DesignMatrix

[chkothe]

This was reproduced with patsy==0.4.1 and numpy==1.11.2 on Python 3.5.2 (win64).

Example: > val

Out[30]: 
DesignMatrix with shape (4, 5)
  Columns:
    ['Intercept',
     'LastNightAwake[0]',
     'LastNightAwake[1]',
     'LastNightInBed[0]',
     'LastNightInBed[1]']
  Terms:
    'Intercept' (column 0)
    'LastNightAwake' (columns 1:3)
    'LastNightInBed' (columns 3:5)
  (to view full data, use np.asarray(this_obj))

> val.design_info
