Remove avatar section and improve avatar hover state

[ryanfeeley]

Let's simplify the settings section, but getting rid of the Account picture section. An improved hover effect with inner white border should help. Also add link title "Change account picture"

Most editing the avatar don't come from here anyway:

@ryanfeeley - I am a strong -1 on this suggestion. Using only a hover state will make it almost impossible for mobile or screen reader users to discover the change avatar functionality.

I have this suspicion the linked to graph does not show what you think it shows. My hunch is you are interpreting the graph as showing users that open /settings/avatar/change directly from preferences or the menupanel. If so, that's a misinterpretation. Rather, the graph shows users that somehow get to the avatar section from preferences or the menupanel. It could be they opened settings from the "manage account" link and then clicked on "Account picture".

A suggestion was floated in HI that I liked was to alter the settings page layout to be more hierarchical. A "profile" section and a "security" section I think the suggestion was.

@shane-tomlinson Good point. We are one of the few internet properties that has a responsive profile section. Most have an entirely different view. I'll take a look and see what's the latest on this issue.
