Transition users from one payment gateway to another

Under Consideration

Right now, in order to switch payment gateways, it looks like we would have to disable the old gateway (at least, within each currency) and force all customers to re-enter their card information using the new gateway.

Building on the payment gateway restrictions that were introduced in 5.11: It would be a much better customer experience - and make the switch much easier - if Blesta could charge stored cards using the old gateway, but switch to using the new gateway whenever a card is updated or newly entered. Then, the old gateway could be disabled after most or all old cards have expired.

I could imagine writing this as a "payment gateway" that's actually a wrapper around two other gateways, but that doesn't seem like a lot of fun.
