Confusing Account Manager page after removing last or only email #394

This can be sign by just removing the email from a one-email account.
After the email is removed, the Account Manager page - main content area - goes blank.
I guess that is to be expected, but a better result would be to put some meaningful message there.

But, the confusing part is that the page stays open and there is still an active Sign Out button on it!

To sign out of what?

If there are no emails left in this "account", is the account still active?
is it an "email-less" account at this point?

This, of course, leads me to my previous Issues about the following:

  1. Just what is "account" deletion?
  2. How does one delete an entire "account"?

Here I am clumsily assuming that an "account" is really a single password with one or more emails associated with it.

Clicking Sign Out does indeed get me back to the main Diresworb.org site.

#252 is the original issue with this, the account is actually closed after removing the last "secondary verified" email address. What is the status on this from a primary perspective? What should happen here? I feel we should at least warn the user that they are about to delete their account, but I do not know how to handle the case where the user has one primary generated identity and they are about to remove it. @lloyd, @benadida?

#137 references this same problem, so may actually be the original issue.

Verified that now the user is warned that he is deleting his account when trying to removed the last/only email. The BrowserID Home page is opened after removing it.
