Cool MP4/H.264/H.265/.gifv avatar support

Whatever you want to call it but can we get better format support for avatars? GIFs are so inefficient and sometimes I got banger avatars that I can't fit into 100KB GIF. I wouldn't really mind the 100KB file limitation if it supported more modern formats, it'd make the site more fun.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll pass along the request to our tech team to see how feasible it'll be.

I would not mind just upping the pixel dimensions from the 175X125...
