Feature request: allow students to bulk move reservations from one room into another

[firasm]

We have two CBTF rooms at UBC at the moment, we only open the second room when the first one is ~90% full. At the moment this is a very manual process (which is probably a separate issue).

Nonetheless, it does happen that we can't predict demand well enough and open both rooms when we should have only opened one. This can be seen in the screenshot below

It would be nice if we could do one of the following:

A) "Change the location" of a session (with all the warnings etc etc) of a room after a reservations are made so that students just go to the right room

B) "Bulk move" reservations from one session into another (Related to #41)

I understand this violates the sanctity of reservations, but operationally we often need to do this for efficiency and logistics.

I'd be pretty hesitant to implement something like this until we have infrastructure in place for sending email notifications to students. Like with airplane flights, we'd want to make sure to notify students if their initial reservation was changed. I suppose it'd be possible to send those notifications manually, but we'd many to make it very clear to center staff that students wouldn't be automatically notified.

Oh, well if we had email notifications (which I thought was a much harder feature to implement), this issue will probably be (mostly) moot! We can just send them an email to switch to the other session and if they show up to the wrong one, just get them to do it on the spot!
