Add "Copy project", similar to fork but without keeping reference between original and new projects [feature proposal]

We have a number of "starter projects" that we want users to use when, well, starting a project. The natural flow today is to fork the project, which works nicely. However, forking the project leaves a reference between the two, and for many scenarios we'd rather not have that.

This issue proposes a new button "Copy" on the project page, next to the "Fork" button. Like fork, copy should ask for a destination; unlike fork, copy should also ask for a new name.
