Request to modify avatar_url to make it unguessable as with the current '/user//picture-default'
it's too easy for anyone to access other user's profile picture by changing randomly number.

Notes:
This change breaks the tests on users as dataset used contain static value of 'avatar_url' which can't be set with the change.
What I can do is:

  • either remove avatar_url from the tests;
  • either set a fake value inside the test to match the value in the dataset;
  • other suggestion ?

I did a few cleanups and also added mocking the serializer so the URLs do not change between test runs.
