Description
Issue copied from RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron#419 by @ST-KW
Description
As a user I want to add my social media links (github, xing, linkedin, twitter, facebook, instagram, flickr, youtube, google+) to the user page in the app / web.

Current Behavior
It's not possible to add / show social media links at the user page.
Expected Behavior
It's possible to add social media links (github, xing, linkedin, twitter, facebook, instagram, flickr, youtube, google+) in the profile. If a field is empty it's not shown, if there is a valid link in a field the appropriate Icon (e.g. https://lipis.github.io/bootstrap-social/) is shown at the user page.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the profile settings and user page entry points in the app/web, then trace how profile fields are stored and rendered. Done means supported social links can be added, valid links show the appropriate icons on the user page, and empty fields remain hidden.
