Offer administration only on a device marked as your own

A session signed in without "This is my own device" can no longer
administer. The server withholds the account's permissions from it and the
JMAP proxy refuses registry methods beyond the account's own, the same gate
ADMINISTRATION=0 uses. A borrowed or shared machine is where nobody should
be able to reset a password or remove a domain.

An administrator in such a session still sees Administration in the account
menu, greyed out, with the reason and the fix: sign in again with the box
ticked. The server tells that session only that the account administers.

The gate now reads the body only when it could name a registry method --
"x: in the text, or a \u escape that could spell one -- so ordinary mail
traffic from an untrusted session is forwarded untouched.

1 new string, translated in all nine catalogues, quoting each language's own
label for the tickbox; strings falling back to English stay at 16.
