Change URL

Since now it's possible to change domain or the url of seafile but use it with precaution because it has not been tested enought for a big production installation. For the authentification and user every email for authentification will have the new domain name. For example toto@old_domain.tld will be toto@new_domain.tld.

To do this run : `yunohost app change-url seafile -d new_domain.tld -p PATH new_path
