Decouple session role handling from flourish sessions

Alex requested to merge remove-flourish-session into master

First part of #1277 (closed) (also see #999)

What does this MR do?

Adds a new function mayRole to the Session class that uses Role constants instead of strings. When we write new code we can use this one instead of the old may function. With this, flourish sessions are effectively decoupled from the rest of the code and can be replaced by something else (e.g. Symfony sessions) in the future.

I also removed some lines of code that fix the mini_q_ format of the user picture. Since the new upload api has been online for quite a while, I'm sure that no old user photos are missing this format and the code must be obsolete.

How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?

Quite sure. The may method is used almost everywhere. If this would break anything, we should see immediately.
