Bug Description

When you create multiple users at once by uploading a csv file, and the institution specifies a view to be copied for those users on creation, all the files copied (as part of copied views) are placed into a folder owned by the first user to be copied. Files owned by all the other new users are left inaccessible by their rightful owners.

    Generate new parent folder for each new view copied (bug #820180)

    Files copied during view copying were not dealt with correctly
    when more than one view was being copied in a single request.
    The copying process automatically creates a folder in which to
    put any files it needs to copy, but the id of this folder was
    declared as static, so it didn't work once copying of multiple
    views is allowed.

    There is a similar problem for blogs created during view copies
    (to hold copied blogposts). I'm not sure if there's a way to
    copy multiple views containing blogposts that need copying (it
    can't happen in institution views). But the default blog creation
    function is updated in this patch anyway.
