Moves a domain you own at another registrar onto your org here, using its authCode, and answers the same record-plus-quote a purchase does.
It is priced and charged exactly like a registration: authorize the org's prepaid balance, ask the registrar for the transfer, capture only after the registrar accepts. A name the registrar will not price is 409, an insufficient balance is 402, and a deployment with no registrar credentials is 503.
It requires a validated principal; the ownership record is written under that org as soon as the registrar ACCEPTS the request, which is not the same instant the transfer completes at the losing registrar. Unlike a registration this does not provision a zone, so the record carries this deployment's configured nameservers.
