Description

It would be a very nice feature for development work (e.g. when working on migrations) to just be able to right click -> clone under a different name.

Basically an equivalent of `CREATE DATABASE newdb WITH TEMPLATE originaldb OWNER dbuser;`

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the database context-menu actions and the PostgreSQL connection handling, then verify how the requested CREATE DATABASE ... WITH TEMPLATE operation fits there. Done means a database can be cloned under a new name with the selected owner through the right-click workflow.
