Dries Peeters 6df92646a1 feat: Add Time Entry Duplication functionality
Implement comprehensive time entry duplication feature that allows users
to quickly copy previous entries with pre-filled data, improving
productivity for repetitive time tracking tasks.

Features:
- Add duplicate route endpoint (/timer/duplicate/<id>)
- Add duplicate buttons to dashboard and edit entry pages
- Pre-fill project, task, notes, tags, and billable status
- Show information banner with original entry details
- Implement permission checks (users can duplicate own entries, admins can duplicate any)
- Track analytics events for duplication actions

Backend Changes:
- app/routes/timer.py: Add duplicate_timer() route with security checks
- Route handles pre-filling manual entry form with original entry data

Testing:
