Warning when deleting OpenIDs

Title:
Warning when deleting OpenIDs

Area:
openid, importing

Summary:
Add a warning when deleting OpenIDs, linking to a FAQ on OpenID and explaining the consequences clearly.

Description:
When someone deletes an OpenID account, give them a warning first which links to the FAQ, and explains how importing works, and that they would be deleting comments* their friends have imported. Also explain what happens if the friend later re-imports their journal, including those comments.

This would help clarify for the cases where someone tried to delete their OpenID as soon as they got a full DW account, without realising what they were doing.

Edit: * Actually, not deleting comments, just leaving them with a strike-through in the username and meaning that the OpenID user couldn't access them. Possibly this illustrates the need for clarification ;)
