Granite.Avatar

Problem

We pretty frequently need a widget that represents an avatar and we're currently relying on Adw for this, but in GTK4 it's really trivial now to clip paintables to a widget

Proposal

Write our own avatar widget with:

• Set size. (Perhaps with Gtk.IconSize? We mostly use 32px and 48px)
• Set an image via paintable so it's a drop-in replacement
• Set text for generating fallback initials
• An icon to fallback to when there's no initials
• Colors (used in fallback) from our palette that are assigned based on a hash so they're consistent
• An option to make the fallback the user's chosen accent color. We want to do this when the avatar represents ourselves
• a has_frame property since we use a flat style in quick settings
