  Completely renames a client, modifying all database records which mention the client.

  This includes all workspaces, labels, branches, streams, etc. which are owned by the client, all pending, shelved, and committed changes created by the client, any files that the client has opened or shelved, any fixes that the client made to jobs, any properties that apply to the client, any groups that the client is in, and the client record itself.
