Description
Violators often use a dedicated domain to create multiple user accounts which breach our Terms of Use. To block them we endup running a mysql command to block that domain. This leads to excess permission grants to the administrator of gitpods.
Instead I propose that admin dashboard has a button which allows us to block a domain from the UI.

Research direction
Start by locating the admin dashboard and the existing MySQL-based domain-blocking operation. Trace how administrators currently block a domain and determine the UI and permission checks needed. Done means an administrator can block a domain from the dashboard without running a direct database command.
