fix(mcp): sanitize duplicate_dashboard response; guard empty layout

Address review feedback on duplicate_dashboard:
- Route the new dashboard's response through
  _sanitize_dashboard_info_for_llm_context so user-controlled title,
  description, chart, and tag text are wrapped as untrusted before
  reaching LLM context, matching the standard dashboard serializers.
- Fail fast when the source has charts but its layout maps none: an
  empty/invalid position_json would otherwise make set_dash_metadata
  rebuild the copy with zero slices, silently producing an empty copy.
- Add tests for both paths and docstrings/type hints on new test code.

+Unit tests for the duplicate_dashboard MCP tool.

+Follows the same pattern used in test_add_chart_to_existing_dashboard.py:
+- Tests run through the async MCP Client (not direct function calls)
+- Patches applied at source locations (superset.daos.dashboard.*,
+  superset.commands.dashboard.copy.*)
+- auth is mocked via the autouse mock_auth fixture
+
+Covers:
+- Duplicate referencing the same charts (duplicate_slices=False, default)
+- Duplicate with deep-copied charts (duplicate_slices=True)
+- Source dashboard not found
+- Source dashboard access denied / copy forbidden
+- Title sanitization (XSS stripped, XSS-only title rejected)
