Title: Add support for uploading Avatars [#IDN-1774]

Allows users to upload new Avatars for their profile:

The avatars are sent for moderation in the Discussion tool, so they're not available immediately.

The Avatar upload system we're hooking into /could/ be described as legacy. The fact that it uses GAE is not the problem, the dependency on the Guardian DocRoot (rather than S3) is closer to the mark.

The Avatar upload is behind a switch, which is off for now.
