Add the ability to delete accounts or transfer them to other boxes #16
Description
I think it would be great if users could transfer their accounts to other boxes (say, if a Viewer user got a real box and wants to transfer their account). The below diagram and mockups show what these features could look like and how they'd act.

addendum: when user confirms transfer, if it is successful, must invalidate old box's session immediately.

The concept is good but I'm not sure if the content from the account like your favorites, mail, etc will be transferred to another terminal.

@benfernandezmedia The account transfer is simply a rename of the SSID folder server-side, so all content should carry over.

@zefie That's why there's a disconnect button instead of an OK button on the "Transfer Initialized" dialog: to end the old session.
I also forgot to mention that the "Transfer Pending" dialog is for if you reconnect on the old box while the account is still in the transfer queue (ie. hasn't been confirmed on the new box).

Very well then, let's see how that goes when the feature is implemented in the minisrv.

@SKCro Session invalidation must be server side, can't trust viewer users to click the button ;)

@zefie Ah, got it.
Another idea is that you could add a "Show SSID" button to the registration screen so it's easier to get the SSID of physical hardware.
