Summary

This diff involved moving selectFromGalleryAndUpdateUserAvatar from Edit*AvatarProvider to avatar-hooks.react.js... which makes a lot more sense.

  1. As discussed D8316, this allows us to better decouple the avatar providers and hooks. The providers are an entity(user/thread)-specific, but platform-agnostic interface b/w client and keyserver, whereas avatar hooks are platform-specific implementations. The coupling between the providers and hooks made things difficult to work w/ when dealing with implementing image avatars on web.
  2. Previously we had hooks which were "functions" of provider state which itself was a "function" of hooks. This diff starts to enforce the idea that hooks are "downstream" of providers which makes things easier to reason about.
  3. selectFromGallery functionality is specific to native where we launch the image gallery programmatically and process the media selection. On web, we "virtually" click on an <input> to launch file selection, and then handle selected media from onChange callback... so things aren't as "sequential."
  4. We're one step closer to merging WebEditUserAvatarProvider and NativeEditUserAvatarProvider.

Depends on D8316

Test Plan

Still able to select and set image avatar from native.

really like this idea of having hooks be platform-specific and providers being platform-agnostic
