Add rel=me to user's website link

Wiktor Kwapisiewicz requested to merge wiktor/gitlab-ce:add-link-rel-me into master

What does this MR do?

This MR adds "me" relation to user's profile website link.

rel=me links allow cross-linking of user's identities. This behavior is used by software to determine if user controls profiles on two different sites. For example Mastodon uses it to display verified badge on links.

Both Twitter and GitHub automatically add rel=me to links added to users' profiles.

What are the relevant issue numbers?

I didn't file an issue, this change is quite small.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

Change is quite small, I think most of these don't apply (but please correct me if I'm wrong)

Happy New Year! 🎉
