Photoshop script to rename duplicate document as the original document

@damianof11513976 

I originally wrote this script for another topic, however, I removed the code as I was having issues duplicating the paths, as there were problems with vector shape layers and regular paths in the paths panel getting messed up.

As you didn't ask for paths to be copied, I have modified that script. It still copies any guides and alphas in addition to all the layers. It's easy to disable the function calls to dupe the guides and alphas if you don't require them. The original document bit depth and ICC profile are retained.

All original document-level metadata is removed via the layer duplication process, which was the original idea behind this script.
