Moving Datasets: Provide way in the UI for a user to do this

[eaquigley]

Have discussed this in the past but did not do if for 4.0. If a user uploads their dataset into the wrong dataverse, could we have a way in the UI for them to change this.

Additionally, I'd like to track how many RT tickets we have about this now that 4.0 is out and see if it is happening as frequently as it was in 3.6 to determine how necessary this is now.

This needs to be designed during 4.0.2 to be developed during 4.0.3.

Things to think about:

• When a user moves a dataset into a dataverse, if that dataverse doesn't have the metadata domains the dataset uses, the user needs to be told to go to the dataverse and enable the metadata domains needed for the dataset.
• Can we do this for them somehow? Tell them the dataverse doesn't have the needed metadata domains, needs (insert metadata domains), would you like to add them? If not, dataset cannot be moved.

We used to have a "move dataverse" command but it was problematic and #283 is still open. The challenges listed in the Google doc mentioned in that issue still apply: Implications of moving dataverses and datasets.

It sounds like in production we've moved a few things manually. I'd be interested in knowing what the steps have been.
