Duplicating an entity using the entity module doesn't duplicate paragraphs

Problem/Motivation

We have a site which uses commerce and paragraphs. The commerce products have a feature which allows for duplicating products, using the entity module, however in our testing any paragraphs linked to the products aren't duplicate, but instead the new entity links to the same paragraph entity as the old entity, and as a result, any updates show on both items.

Steps to reproduce

Install commerce_product and paragraphs. Add a paragraph field to a product or product_variation type, the create a product and variation. You should see an option to "Duplicate" the product from the drop button in the product list view. Click on the button, and you will be redirected to a new entity form, for the new entity. Update values, and save the item. View the orginal item, and see that the values were updated here as well.

Proposed resolution

The entity module throws an event when an entity is duplicated. We should subscribe to this event and duplicate any paragraphs in fields referenced by the entity.

I'm setting this to postponed because if the core issue is fixed then we still need to do work on our side to react to the duplication event.

Didn't see this, an implementation for the core hook is being worked on in 📌 Support duplicate hook Active

paragraphs module also explicitly supports the replicate module API and implements that.
