    This makes a few small but helpful improvements to the Avatar Settings
    page. The major change is that the side-by-side selection widget for the
    avatar backends (which doesn't work well on mobile and is largely being
    eliminated from the UI) has been replaced by a set of checkboxes for
    each service. This is far more clear than the old UI, and works great on
    mobile and desktop.

    The ordering of fields has changed, along with their labels. We now have
    "Enable avatars" first, followed by a list of services, and followed by
    the default service. This is a more logical order.

    There's new help text that explains what happens if a service isn't
    enabled, and displays our recommendation to keep avatars enabled.

    And last, but not least, the page title has changed to "Avatar
    Settings", and the sidebar entry to "Avatars", for consistency with the
    rest of the settings.

    Tested the page on desktop and mobile, making sure all options loaded
    and persisted.
