when removing account, remove its data directory instead of leaving it around

recreating the account would resurface the old messages, certainly not what you'ld expect.
it's about time to just remove the files. we do ask admins to confirm that when
removing through admin interface. it's also in the "mox config account rm" help
output now.

for issue #162 by RobSlgm with feedback from x8x, thanks!
