Draft: Implement placeholder mechanism to show avatars

Matti Viljanen requested to merge show-profile-and-group-avatars into avatars

Introduce a mechanism to display profile avatars and group logos. This MR is hovering somewhere between "a good start" and "a bad idea".

  • Create SettingsBridge.stringValue("avatar_dir")
  • Groups: use group ID as filename
  • Recipients: use UUID as filename
  • Update relevant QML files accordingly

This is a very much work in progress, because:

  • Recipient profile avatar field isn't used
  • Groups don't really have an avatar field?
  • Recipient UUID is exposed to filesystem
  • Group ID is exposed to filesystem

It should be easy to update this MR to use recipient/group avatars when the backend work is done. The UI side should be complete, though. I have manually copied a few images to avatars folder, and they show up properly.
