Better wording on Feed action for profile changes

If you change your profile pic, feeds doesn’t seem to know how describe this action (see screenshot, 2nd item from the top). A profile pic change may need its own description: “Thomas Moroz changed his profile picture”. Same thing with an edit on the profile: “Thomas Moroz edited his profile” would be better than “Thomas Moroz edited Profile Thomas Moroz.”

This won't land before the merge of the m46_integration branch.

WRT profile picture changes:

- The "add" event for the file is just like the event for adding
  any other content to the site: to implement a special "flavor"
  for this event, the subscriber would have to apply some
  grotty malherusitic.

- It would be more feasible to ensure that the "context" title and URL,
  which are normally those of the community, and are thus empty for this
  event, would be mapped to the URL and title of the profile. THe event
  as displayed would then look something like:

    <a href="...">Phred Phlyntsone</a> added a File <a href="..."
    >Photo of Phred Phlyntstone</a> in <a href="...">Phred Phlyntstone</a>.

  Likewise for updates.

WRT "edited his profile":

- AFAK we don't know the user's sex, which means we can't use a grammatically
  correct personal pronoun (I *despise* the "singular their").

Added Nat as a subscriber so he could see comment #3. I agree with Tres's points. We can't do the personal pronoun, and it would be advisable to find a solution that didn't require the double-special-casing mentioned in the first point. I think Tres's suggestion gets much of what was asked for while keeping cost and longer term maintenance down.

Tres, go ahead and make the change you propose (doesn't have to be for today's rollout). If something bigger is needed, we can discuss it in isolation.

OK, sounds good. Why can't we get KARL to detect gender? :)
