Modernize "Edit identity" screen.
Suggested solution
- Add proper padding

Research direction
Start by locating the EditIdentity activity and reading how its current screen, TextInputLayout usage, and save operation are implemented. Compare the existing screen with the issue's screenshot and checklist; done means the layout is modernized, changes are saved off the main thread, and the activity-versus-fragment decision is addressed.
