Recently there was an accident with a chatbot that replaced its avatar set from the command line with an unrelated avatar of a contact. Both the `selfavatar` setting and the contact avatar `i` param pointed to `$BLOBDIR/avatar.png` at the time it was detected. How this happened is unclear, but it is possible that `avatar.png` was removed, unmounted or otherwise not detected by the core, and the core stored avatar received from the contact as `avatar.png`, while `selfavatar` config still pointed to `$BLOBDIR/avatar.png`. Such bugs are unavoidable even if the core itself has no bugs as we cannot rely on blobdir not reside on the faulty network filesystem, being incorrectly backed up and restored etc., so we should assume that files may be randomly removed. Then there may be dangling `$BLOBDIR/...` references in the database which may accidentally point to unrelated files, could even be an `avatar.png` file sent to the bot in private. To prevent such bugs, we add random filename suffixes for the blobdir objects. Thanks to the added Param::Filename these random suffixes aren't sent over the network.
