…me server Adds a -NewName parameter that allows copying a job under a different name. When source and destination are the same server, -NewName is required. Cannot be used when copying multiple jobs simultaneously. (do Copy-DbaAgentJob)

Adds a -NewName parameter that allows copying a job under a different name. When source and destination are the same server, -NewName is required. Cannot be used when copying multiple jobs simultaneously.
(do Copy-DbaAgentJob)
Summary
Added -NewName parameter to Copy-DbaAgentJob to allow copying a job under a different name, including to the same server.
Why
It was not possible to copy a job to the same server instance since all jobs on a server must have unique names. Users needed a way to create job copies/variants — similar to how -NewName already works in Copy-DbaDatabase. For example Ole Hallengrens Backup-command allows a parameter named "DatabasesInParallel" which needs the backupjobs to be identical. Hence this avoids typos.
Changes
Added -NewName parameter that sets the destination job name
Copying to same server now requires -NewName (fails with clear error otherwise)
-NewName cannot be used when copying multiple jobs simultaneously
Updated parameter validation test and added 3 integration tests
Testing
Verified manually against SQL Server instance. Integration tests added for same-server copy, cross-server rename, and error case without -NewName.
Closes #10370
