Support "Deep Copy" allowing users to duplicate at the map level (which creates a new map, creates new topics, recreates map hierarchy using new topics)

This concept of "Deep Copy" would allow users to build a template of a chapter, create a map to hold the topics that are part of that template and would allow a "one click" deep copy operation on the map level. That one click would not only duplicate the map (leaving it pointing to the same topics as it does today) but it would make copies of all the topics and create a new map to contain the new topics. This would solve some issues with the creation of templates today in the system. Doing this today is somewhat time consuming.

We have a use case particularly for "data sheet" type documents by our SME's. They want to duplicate/clone previous publications then use collective spaces (draft space) to use that as a baseline/template for next pub.

Exact use case for us as well. In addition to writers being able to collaborate and quickly build a fully built publication based on another publication that is similar, but won't be part of the same content.
