Description: In the profile settings, under edit, a student should have the ability to upgrade his account to a lecturer account by going through the same process as in the signup, with the lecturer key.

Depends on: #326

My Idea would be to delete the account when doing this action and creating a new one automatically. Then the user might have to log in again and is a teacher. I think upgrading a teacher account to a lecturer account is unsafe because of a lot of possible side effects like duplicate views and so on. Also because there is no way of downgrading yet, the information for the ex-student would be lost anyway.
