    pass OutlinerParaObject around by value
    
    since it uses o3tl::cow_wrapper, so it is really just a wrapper
    around a pointer, no point in allocating it on the heap
    
    Remove assert in SdrText::SetOutlinerParaObject, which was
    bogus anyhow, because it was comparing pointers, not deep equality.
    And since we are now being more efficient and avoiding
    copying of the internal data in OutlinerParaObject, we hit
    this assert.
