ACPICA: Update behavior of CopyObject to match ACPI spec

Fixed a problem where a CopyObject to RegionField, BankField, and
IndexField objects did not perform an implicit conversion as it
should. These types must retain their initial type permanently as
per the ACPI specification. However, a CopyObject to all other
object types should not perform an implicit conversion, as per
the ACPI specification.
