MD Settings: Profile avatar scaled up and cropped

Project Member Reported by michae...@chromium.org, Apr 6 2017

Issue description

The profile icon in the People section top row is pixelated (scaled up) and cropped into a circle. Compare the attached avatar.png with the icon showed in the user manager (pod.png).

Elsewhere in Chrome, the avatar isn't shown inside a circular mask, and the icons don't seem particularly designed to be circular (see how the top-left of the martini glass is chopped off in the attachment, and the shadows are cut off too).

I demand crisp, non-chipped martini glasses in Settings!

i think this has been going through some changes lately.  are you trying like SUPER NEW chrome?
From  bug 703834  (that I'm duping to this bug - almost duped the other way, but this one has pictures!).

open chrome://settings and look at the avatar icon in the People section.

It's a touch blurry. It looks like we are fetching a 38px by 31px and scaling it to 40x40px. 

Something to consider(?):
The 38x31px icon is the x1 scale icon. The x2 scale icon is 76px by 32px and looks a bit sharper when scaled down. (i.e. an image is sharper if a large image is scaled down; rather than a smaller image scaled up).
 Issue 703834  has been merged into this issue.
#1: tested with beta and canary.

dschuyler: sorry for the dupe! I always have "Component:UI>Settings" in my searches.

We should do the same thing as the user switcher (see attached)

We should really fix this before launch. It's literally the first thing your eye looks at when opening chrome://settings.

Work in progress. The image looks more saturated in the settings version. Though this is sharper.

dschuyler@ and I have been pair programming this with tommycli@'s help.

we're trading this P1 issue for a P3 issue of the blue outline not working correctly when changing your profile picture.  this seems like way less of a deal (clicking the icon works, going back work, but initially showing the blue line around profile pictures when editing your profile is likely to fail).

here's more details on the P3 we're trading for:  issue 710660
