Dashboard 2.0 - Admin-only Pages with FlowFuse Auth

A flow to utilise the FlowFuse msg._client.user object available when running Dashboard 2.0 on FlowFuse Cloud.

Here, we wire a ui-event node (which emits each time a user views a page) into a switch node, check the user.username against a known list of admin users, and then branch to a change node and define a message for our ui-control node to dynamically show content, in this case an "Admin" page, when appropriate
