Avoid setting avatar_url to ""

Fixes an edge-case bug where calling `set_avatar_url("")` when the user
doesn't have an avatar(`get_avatar_url()` returns `None`) caused a
redundant PUT request to be made to nullify the already-empty avatar_url
field in the user profile. This also fixes the errant `$user made no
change` state events appearing in every room they are in when
`set_avatar_url("")` is called.
