[isf-wifidog] Deleting users

[Ray Gwinn]

There may be a way to delete users, but a dangerous way.  Use pg_dump to dump the wifidog 
database in plain text.  Use a text editor to delete the unwanted users.  Then delete the wifidog 
database and rebuild it using psql.

I have not done this, so I suggest that anyone that tries it to test a lot before doing it on a 
production system.
