Description

### Is this feature request related to a new or existing Amplify category?

_No response_

### Is this related to another service?

DynamoDB, Cognito, S3, or Analytics

### Describe the feature you'd like to request

Ability to clone the data created in DynamoDB, S3, auth data in Cognito, etc to a new environment.

Suppose you have App A on Amplify with data set A and you want to create App B with the same data set as App B, I believe this is not possible today.

### Describe the solution you'd like

a command line solution within the new app root folder: amplify clone --appId that will clone all the data from app A into the new app. An interactive flow might be useful in case the user does not want to copy all of the data from App A and only clone data from certain categories.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually migrating all this data over seems like a pretty difficult task.

### Additional context
