Gravatar is a privacy nightmare. Fortunately it gets blocked by Privacy badger on my desktop but not every user has that.

I plan on moving avatar handling completely to the backend. That way, the backend would serve as a proxy which gets the avatar from gravatar and then serves it to the user. That way, virtually no identifiable information gets sent to gravatar. It also makes it easier to change how avatars work and make room for other custom implementations.

There is now a default avatar provider which can be enabled: vikunja/api#149

That way, no external requests are made.
