`PATCH /api/v1/me`

Change the name you are shown by. Signed in only, not with a token.

## What to send

## The answer

200, `Me`

- `account_id` (string, needed)
- `account_name` (string, needed)
- `accounts` (list of MeAccount): Every account they are in. One is the account this answer is about; a person in one account has one here.

- `invite_needed` (boolean): Another account of theirs needs an invite code (doc/invites.md).

- `name` (string): What they are called. Empty until they say.
- `operator` (boolean): Whoever runs this tidekeeper: the operator's console is theirs.
- `role` (string, needed)
- `second_step_missing` (boolean): The account's owner asked that every member has a second step at sign-in, and this member has not set one up.
