Picture cleanup: delete profile photos

Alex requested to merge update-usage-type into master

First part of #1182

What does this MR do?

Deletes profile photos when

  • a new profile photo is uploaded
  • the account is deleted

In both cases the old photo is not needed anymore. This removes the files and the database entry.

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

very sure

#45 (closed): There are six ways an uploaded picture can be used. In all six cases the file can be removed when it is replaced or the corresponding entity (profile, post, ...) is deleted. I'd like to implement it one by one.

How to test

  1. Checkout branch locally
  2. Login as foodsaver
  3. Set a profile picture in your profile settings and find the UUID in the server's response
  4. Set another profile picture
  5. Check that the uploads table in the database does not contain the old UUID anymore
  6. Check that the old files do not exist anymore in the /data/uploads directory
