Actions Dialogue Duplicate Button

[Speedrace4]

Description

Addresses this issue: #57399

Before screenshot:

After screenshot:

This adds a duplicate button to the layer properties actions dialogue. How it works: when a row is selected in the actions list, clicking the duplicate button will open a dialogue with all of the attributes of that row, allowing them to be edited. When clicking ok, it is submitted as a new row instead of editing the original.

Additionally, I edited the src/ui/qgsattributeactiondialogbase.ui file to put the components I was working with in order.

Would "duplicate" be more appropriate here vs "copy"? To me this action more closely follows other "duplicate" actions we have (eg duplicating symbol layers), vs "copy" (which implies more of a "copy" and then "paste" action).

This makes sense, I will update the changes to reflect this

@nyalldawson can I ask why this was frozen?

[nyalldawson]

@Speedrace4 we're in feature freeze for 3.38 now -- only features submitted before the freeze and which weren't reviewd in time were granted the "freeze exempt" status, features submitted during freeze need to wait till post 3.38 release before they can be merged.
