Bug Description

The link to merge the current user account with another account should be somewhere in the profile Actions menu. Its present location is not easily discoverable.

Bug 30439 dealt with this issue but partially solved it by introducing the "Claim this profile".

It may save time to fix bug 267808 at the same time as this bug

We've discussed that some time ago and agreed that it wouldn't be a good
idea to have it in the already-cluttered actions menu as this link is
something most people will want to follow at most once.

Even if the Actions menu isn't the appropriate place for it, we still need to find a better way to let people know it exists.

The natural place for this sort of option to exist is in the profile page. Anywhere else and we're sending people on a hunt around to look for it.

Perhaps a UI text change would be enough.
