Multiple server support

Similar to https://github.com/openhab/openhab-android/issues/10, it would be very useful to me to be able to select between multiple OpenHab installations within the IOS app, say from a dropdown under the hamburger menu.

I guess in detail this would require modifying the settings page to allow defining multiple servers, their authentication, and local/remote URLs.

Use case: I have to OH installations at home and a vacation home, several hundred miles apart. Being able to easily review the status of things and settings at each location I consider to be vital to using any automation system. When at one location or when traveling, I need at times to be able to review what's going on remotely - possibly to let a friend into the house, or ensure lights are off, doors are locked, etc.

I wouldn't consider sharing a single server between the two, as I'd prefer the stability of a local OpenHab server for each.

This functionality may also be useful to others who want to A/B test server versions, or who are doing R&D.

Yes, I can do this via browser bookmarks, but I don't consider that a long-term solution...

Same situation, several openHAB servers but no possibility of choosing the connection server. Very problematic with several openHAB installations!
