Use 2x image source for avatars

Chad Lavimoniere requested to merge 452522-avatars-with-size-40-are-still-blurry into master

What does this MR do and why?

This re-addresses a previous MR that used a fixed 48px image source size for avatars smaller than 48x48. There are other avatar sizes, notably 40x40, that still require a larger source image. It's easier to just use a 2x source image when the avatar is small instead of using a fixed size when the avatar is below a certain dimension.
