Unnecessary PAM .aux.xml files written sometimes

Description

The command: 

gdal_translate -of EHDR oddsize1bit.tif  ~/out2.bil

With the oddsize1bit.tif file from autotest/gcore/data results in a .bil file being produced with an associated .aux.xml containing: 

<PAMDataset>
  <PAMRasterBand band="1">
    <Metadata domain="IMAGE_STRUCTURE">
      <MDI key="NBITS">1</MDI>
    </Metadata>
    <Metadata/>
  </PAMRasterBand>
</PAMDataset>

The problem seems to be that default copying of a dataset triggers unneeded calls to MarkPamDirty() and so the .aux.xml is written even though the only info it is is systematic data produced by the driver.
