This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging

This gives more control over the request. In particular we can easily
lookup DNS dynamically, instead of only upon NGINX startup.
Previously, NGINX was looking up IP for the letter avatar service and
caching the CDN IP address, this caused issues if CDN changed IP, in
which letter avatars would be broken till a container restarted.
NGINX config has been updated to add caching. This change will require
a container rebuild.
The proxy will now function in development environments, so the patch
for `letter_avatar_proxy` has been removed.

Previously we killed caching on old avatars cause we kept serving blank
this meant we would front many more avatar requests after a version change
This change ensures all old avatars do not cause a flood of requests on the
server
We regressed and optimized images no longer worked with svg
The following adds the correct logic to simply copy file for svgs
and bypasses resizing for svg avatars
In some cases Akami was holding tight to these invalid avatars,
to avoid this happening we explain the avatar image is ancient
then when a new upload is added it automatically is older than
this.
FIX: keep the "uploading..." indicator until the server replies via the MessageBus
FIX: text was disapearing when uploading an avatar
PERF: always use a region for S3 (defaults to 'us-east-1')
FEATURE: ApplyCDN middleware when using S3
FIX: use the same pattern to store files on S3 and locally
PERF: keep a local cache of uploads when generating thumbnails
FEATURE: migrate_to_s3 rake task

It seems that the version string was ammended to return the ImageMagick
version. This caused the guard in the user avatars method to fail as the
versions weren't the same.
I changed it so it is comparing the right version, but I wonder if this
is bad as the controller is no longer using the ImageMagick version. Can
you please review?
