[PATCH] restore userName and userID after hard reset

[Bodo Bellut <bodo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently discovered, that PilotManager doesn't restore the userID if I 
resync my reset Pilot. I rather computes a new one. This creates problems with 
at least SyncPlan which relies on the userID.
So I added this code (patch attached) to PilotManager which asks the user if 
he wants to restore the old name and id if a reset unit is discovered.
This may not be The Right Thing(TM), so feel free to correct it...

Alan, feel free to include this into your next release :-)

cu, Bodo
