Draw avatars with DiceBear instead of by hand

Draw avatars with DiceBear instead of by hand The marks this package drew itself were a design I kept losing arguments with. Avatars are now DiceBear's Shapes style, which is what the request asked for. DiceBear is JavaScript and Vole is a Go binary, so the split is: the server renders the account's initial on its Everforest ground, and an embedded bundle replaces it with the mark when the page runs. The initial is what a browser without scripts keeps, so nothing depends on the bundle arriving; the seed is the account name, so the same person draws the same mark everywhere; and the ground is read from the element, so vole.css remains the only palette. The bundle is core 9.3.1 plus Shapes 9.4.2 (MIT code, CC0 design), built with esbuild and committed like the other vendored scripts: 18KB, 5.5KB gzipped. Its source is scripts/avatars-entry.js, and the licence files beside it are inventoried in NOTICE, so the verify workflow's licence check keeps passing. No request leaves the instance and no avatar is stored. Two details worth naming. Each mark gets a unique clip-mask id, because SVG ids are document-wide and a directory page holds fifty of them. And the RDF metadata block DiceBear embeds is stripped: it is identical for every avatar and its licence is in NOTICE, so repeating it in the DOM would be weight without information.
