New Owner for a board

[Dubidubiduu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I accidentally created a board with a wrong user, now it is full of decks.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to give the ownership to another user.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Copying deck to another user, would be needed that this is an exact copy with history, discussion and all.

Additional context
I want to have everything under one user which is used for administration purposes. I think this way I don't get any problems if people pass of my team.

Hello, we need this enhancement, because when a user left the organization, or change their functions, its impossible to change the owner.

@juliushaertl as you asked in #119, if there is a use case in also copy cards in a run with copying boards, yeah, so here is one use case.

Just wondering: Do you think, as for me it's just two boards, it's enough to change owner in "oc_deck_boards"-table in the database to another owner? Will this break anything?

Then I could finally delete the old users...

That should work fine.

Maybe we could start of with a simple occ command to transfer the ownership of a board to a different user (similar to how it works for files).

Almost.

My situation:

Board x - users:
A (deprecated user) - owner
B - shared with user

So ownership should be transformed from A to B. When I just change owner in database it becomes:

Board x - users:
B - owner
B - shared with user

And with this situation, somehow, I wasn't able to delete the share. So I gave the owner to another user C, deleted the share of B, and then gave the ownership to B.

Maybe it was just some caching and I wasn't patient enough, just wanted to let you know.

I've implemented the feature for my needs as an occ command. If it has a value for the community I can create PR
