Export data "Download my profile" button active even when profile not requested. Trying to download raises S3 error.

I'm logging this bug into the core software since it is possible it affects any pod running with uploads on S3 - though of course it is possible this is a joindiaspora.com only issue.

When visiting settings on joindiaspora.com, the "Download my profile" button is active even though there has not been a request for the profile data. Clicking it brings an error.

From a user report, this error comes even after profile data has successfully(?) been generated. See error report in this post, image attached here.

Maybe either joindiaspora.com configuration issue or bug? @maxwell any chance you could check for the first?

I've requested my profile and waiting for it to be ready to check whether the file is given without access rights errors from S3.

Unless you want to make the link publicly accessible, all S3 links have an expiry, set in the carrierwave uploader. I think the default may only be 5 minutes.

Most likely, we want to make that timeframe 24 hours, and tell customers that the link is only valid for 24 hours.

So yeah, a few changes then:

1. Add configurable carrierwave expiry
2. Don't show download button in UI after creation+expiry
3. Warn users in email notification that file will expiry after X time
