Description

## Prerequisites

- [x] I have searched for similar features requests in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- [x] The feature is still missing in the latest stable version of Elementor ( Elementor Pro. )

**What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
I am frustrated there is no duplicate button on templates in the theme builder. I make a single page template and I need to make another single page template with a few modifications and it would be so much easier to duplicate the first one and then tweak it and reassign it to different conditions/pages.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
With a duplicate button {See added graphic}, I could duplicate a single page template and have the same template to be able to modify a color or image, WITHOUT having to manually recreate the single page template again.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I am having to recreate the single page template again and I may make a design padding or margin mistake and the template jumps or moves when going to different pages. Sure I could save it as a template, but it would be a one click duplication on a single page template and make the color change without touching anything else.

**Additional context**
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Done means a template can be duplicated from the Theme Builder, retain its existing design, and be modified and reassigned to different conditions or pages.
