Softer redirecting players from to another server with client prompt

An option to transfer players from one server to another can be useful for example during tournaments when teams have to switch servers between games.

Maybe there could be an option to vote to switch a server too. But some may see as too much forcing, although in case if it's a vote to switch to a different mode server in the same location, it will be no different from changing mode on a multi-mode server.

There could be also something like a "network" of servers. When players are on particular server they would be provided with a list of server aliases. E.g. while being on UK CA server, they could do /connect ctf to connect to UK CTF server or /connect duel to connect to UK duel server, or /connect ctfde to connect to German CTF server or /connect duelny to connect to New York duel server etc.

Redirecting players with particular IP and/or GUID from one server to another could be also useful. For example redirecting players who often rage quit from CA to DM/FFA server would be a less harsh alternative to banning.

Right now the client has no choice,
add another command "switchserver" next to "switchserverforce" that prompts the client
