[Feature Request] Add change_url script

[lapineige]

This might be an useful option to implement in the future.

I'm creating this issue to give it some visibility, in case someone want to work on it 🙂, and to reference this important step to run during the change_url operation: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/tools#update-peertube-instance-domain-name

I think there is a problem with change_url and federation...

[lapineige]

It will mess federation, yes. I don't know exactly if it's best to proxy stuff, declare the deletation of the instance, don't remove anything and just recreate the content with the new URL…
But for non-federated instance, it might help migrating them for instance.

This require some work and testing obviously, I documented it somewhere for the person who will be willing to do it 🙂
