Enhancement: Enable Account Switching for Non-Ephemeral Devices on Logout

[vsychov]

Hello! I find myself saying this in almost every PR or ticket, but I'd like to take a moment to thank you once again for this fantastic product. I truly hope to see it thrive and evolve over time.

This PR addresses a user story and resolves a bug. Fixes: #1522 and #1310.

User Story:
As a user, I want the ability to switch between accounts that I'm logged into, either via OIDC or through an auth-key.

Existing Issues:

• When logging in via OIDC as User A, then logging out and trying to log in as User B, there's a web interface error stating could not register machine.
• If you log in using the auth-key for User A, log out, and then try to authenticate with the auth-key for User B, the authentication seems to work. However, you remain logged in as User A.

These scenarios are works for non-ephemeral devices. Ephemeral devices don't face this problem as they get removed upon logout. While these issues might be addressed in #1492, it got me thinking: Why not always remove devices on logout? What value do they have post-logout?

Hence, I'm suggesting this as either a temporary or permanent fix for the aforementioned issues.

Hi! as part of #1473, we have reorganised a lot of the code.

To clear PRs that needs to be rebased or redone, we are closing open PRs that will require significant code change to be merged.

In addition, the issue of the PR might in some cases have been fixed, change or no longer relevant, so it would be great if this is considered as well.

Thank you for your contribution!

If it is still relevant and the PR is reopened, we will aim at getting the changes into the next release after the reorg if accepted.
