Duplicate a space in a site

Creates a full copy of the space linked by the specified site space. When the site space is the only variant in a section, the copy is placed in a new sibling section. Otherwise, it is added as a variant under the same parent. Prefer this operation over duplicateSpace whenever the request originates from a site or needs to preserve site placement.
