[Fiware-lab-help] [Account Portal] Trying to delete an organization could lead to cancel the user account

When doing our tests on the organizations functionality on the Account
Portal, we've found that when trying to delete an organization, the user
can end up deleting its own user account instead.  To delete an
organization, the user has to edit the organization profile.  At the bottom
of this page there is the option to destroy the organization.  But this
option depends on the currently active session, that is:

- If the current session is the organization session, the option is
"Destroy organization" and this allows the user to delete that
organization, as expected.

- If the current session is the user session, the option is "Cancel
account" and this leads to cancelling the user account whose session is
currently active.

This is a very serious issue, because there are actions when using the
Account portal that change the currently active session without user
intervention, and the user may not realize the session has changed.  Also,
the option to cancel a user account should only be available when editing
the user profile, not when editing an organization profile.
