We don't allow changes to existing OAuth apps; even for minor changes, the owner must register a new app. This is not great but also not easy to fix; a quick and dirty improvement would be to add a "create a new app based on this existing app" option, which would pre-fill the app registration form with the details of the old app.

If we implement some kind of diff interface (T245290: OAuth consumer review interface should show changes from the last approved version) in the future, it would be nice to somehow expose "this app was based on that other app" to the admin reviewing the new app so they can diff them. Either via a new DB row, or by adding it into the log row.

Partially done (thanks @KiwiTheMember). We'll probably want to allow copying another user's app as well.
