When creating a new controller, the options dictionary was used by-reference.
This meant that code could update the options dictionary *after* creating the controller, which would not be thread-safe.
It does not have much effect on regular operations as the normal method is to create the dictionary, pass it, and not modify it.
But in the tests, we frequently re-use the dictionary and update it with new values to test various cases.
Due to the dictionary being a reference, the controller would update the dictionary to fit the operations, but this would reflect back into the tests, meaning that some tests were being run with options that were not supposed to be there.
This meant that at least two edge cases that we test for were never found to have errors, even though they do.
The first issue is the listing of files using a non-default blocksize. The second issue is recreating the database with a non-default file-hash algorithm.
This PR removes the reference passing, and fixes the issues that were uncovered.
