[Opensim-dev] Shaping the user services

[Melanie]

Currently, profile information is handled in part by the user server 
and in part by the profiles module.
This data really has no business in the user server, because it is 
Linden client specific, furthermore, it should not be split between 
two services.
The profile information in the user server is a legacy of a quick 
fix to get a profile picture and text working before we had a real 
profile service.
It would be quite foolish to pollute a new, clean architectural 
approach with such legacy data and Lindenisms,
