Olivier 'reivilibre cd2c84b5a5 Stop treating unset display names and avatar URLs as profile fields with a null value. (#20145) ...

Instead, treat them as absent fields as they feel like they should be.

The database implementation detail that these fields have a dedicated
column with `NULL`
when unset is kept to the storage layer.

The goal here is to reduce the amount of special casing needed for these
two original profile fields and treat them a little bit more like
regular profile fields.

Follows: #20003

Follows: #20147 (needed as a bugfix to continue sending them down
oldschool sync when they get deleted. Without #20147, this PR would
break that — which matches how custom profile fields were broken too.)
