Support updating the public profile

[friedger]

Users have a public profile (sometimes registered via the zonefile) that contains public information like where users store their data for certain apps. Currently, the profile contains a schema definition for Person. However, there is no way for the user to add or change the personal details.

This feature request is a first step to support updating the public profile. It is limited to properties of the Person schema.

Application can request to update the users profile, then the user has to confirm the change via UI like this:

This feature requires:

• handling a new type of request (update profile) from apps
• adding UI flow to confirm profile updates
• re-useing existing functions to upload the updated and signed profile

In connect (see hirosystems/connect#246):

• adding new type of request (doUpdateProfile)

I LIKE THIS FEATURE!

This generally approach looks great to me. We'd love to review a PR with this addition.

Rather than a specific profile updater feature, could this be implemented as a more generic gaia data updater?

[friedger]

@kyranjamie The underlying logic could handle that. The app should then send mime-type, filename and file content, optional encryption key.

This issue is about limited editing feature of the profile because the public profile contains app data that users might not want to mess with in general. Therefore, the flow for this issue would accept only

mime-type = application/json
filename = profile.json
encryption key = undefined
file content follows strictly Person schema

While I think it makes sense to potentially have a Gaia generic function, the profile related stuff does warrant its own methods in my opinion. The profile is a core element of stacks auth and wallet usage, and we should start giving it more focus.

I vote for a specific profile related function before a generic Gaia method.

Here is first proposal for a request token: https://github.com/hirosystems/stacks-wallet-web/pull/2632/files#diff-013e7cf4ed0371a2b480849aa230bf83e4314ff2c959d79818953a93fc460688R30
