Assign different profile icons to signed-out, multi-profiles

Project Member Reported by sabineb@chromium.org, Jun 12 2018

Issue description

For not signed-in, multi-profiles, we should assign a different generic avatar to show in the top right corner. Today, those profiles show "Person 1", "Person 2", etc. and with GM2, we'll need to have a generic avatar instead. For the 1st profile, we're (on Canary) using the grey generic avatar, but for any 2nd+ profile, we currently show the white ghost. This makes it hard to distinguish the different profiles and those old icons are not really modern to be surfaced that prominently. 

I see three possible paths forward here: 
1. using Joel's explorations of tinting that generic signed-out avatar in different GM2 colors (will need to be run by Identity UX), or
2. swapping our profile avatars with the more modern CrOS ones, or
3. iterating through the the different colors of the generic head/ghost avatar from chrome://settings/manageProfile.

Assigning identity-related GM2 bugs to Namrata for now. More context to come during our meeting on Thursday.

This is not blocking M69/birthday launch. Moving to P3 so we are clear on that.

The code for the top-right corner shows the profile image if there's more than one profile.

This is probably side effect of default-assigning new profiles the "white head" icon instead of an unused one. When you create a new profile it will get the white-head icon if you don't choose one. One way of rotating them would be to let "Person 4" choose the 4th icon by default.

Triaging out of our critical path. Sabine, if you keep track of this post-69 that'd be great.

Removing RVG here so I can reference the bug from outside.
