Replace initialjs-rails with custom avatar code
The initialjs-rails gem hasn't been maintained for years, and it currently requires `railties < 7.0`, meaning we can't upgrade to Rails 7 while we depend on it. Since the code in the gem is simple, and we were already rewriting its most complex part (generating a background color), we can implement the same code, only we're using Ruby instead of JavaScript. This way, the avatars will be shown on browsers without JavaScript as well. Since we're adding a component test that checks SVG images are displayed even without JavaScript, we no longer need the test that checked images were displayed after AJAX requests. Now the tests show the user experience better; people don't care about the internal name used to select the initial (which is what we were checking); they care about the initial actually displayed. Note initialjs generated an <img> tag using a `src="data:image/svg+xml;` attribute. We're generating an <svg> tag instead, because it's easier. For this reason, we need to change the code slightly, giving the <svg> tag the `img` role and using `aria-label` so its contents won't be read aloud by screen readers. We could give it a `presentation` role instead and forget about `aria-label`, but then screen readers would read the text anyway (or, at least, some of them would).
