Description

Originally from #1622, and followup to #1637:

We want to show enough information about the linked GitHub account to allow the student to make an informed decision about whether it’s the correct one. So, add a component to the logged-in user drop-down that shows the user’s GitHub avatar and display name, along with an Unlink button. For consistency, we’ll just show the same information about the linked Google account, although there will be no Unlink option here because Google is the primary authentication provider for Popcode.

Research direction

Start by locating the logged-in user drop-down and the existing linked GitHub and Google account flows. Review how account details are loaded and how unlinking is handled; done means both linked accounts show their avatar and display name, with an Unlink button only for GitHub.
