WIP: Fix sync API

[ByteHamster]

Linking the devices works but the very last step (sync_user.delay(user)) still fails with:

TypeError: Object of type User is not JSON serializable

When using sync_user.delay(user.pk) like it is used elsewhere, the request blocks indefinitely.

mygpo/mygpo/users/views/device.py

Line 292 in f4e9aed

sync_user.delay(request.user.pk)

Closes #128

@fundatillus Do you have an idea how to fix the sync_user.delay part?

That would be the only thing missing to make gpodder integration in AntennaPod a lot easier to understand for users. We currently get quite a few requests by users who do not know that they need to link devices with the web UI to make synchronization work. Would be great if AntennaPod could link automatically using the API.

@fundatillus I saw you merged some human-made PRs recently. This fix is required for some improvements in AntennaPod related to the gpodder.net integration (even beyond what's described above). It would be great if this could be merged. Would you be in the position to have a look?

Done! I'll push to prod soon.

This was a WIP PR. While it does fix one issue, the API is still broken and #128 should not be closed. Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the framework to find out why sync_user.delay(user.pk) does not work.
