In order for MultiDevice to work, we need to bootstrap a new devices from an
existing profile. We assume all clients use a common tox profile format, though
most complement the Tox profile with an ini file or similar.
If you just copy a profile from one device to the next it will not work as
you cannot have 2 profiles with the same keys online at the same time. We could have a simple utility that rekeys a profile and creates a new ToxID, so that we could copy a profile and rekey it. Then the new client running the rekeyed profile could send a DHT announcement updating to the new ToxID.
