Title:
  Allow admins to customize "social media" options

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you go to "Content -> Profile -> Social media", you can provide a
  list of your usernames in various social networks. We've also provided
  an "other" option to let this encompass additional types of social
  networks. But! It's still a hard-coded list. The important networks
  will shift over time, and depending on the circumstances of the
  institution running Mahara.

  When we updated this from the previous system (which listed mostly
  instant messaging systems: ICQ, MSN, etc), we stayed with a hard-coded
  system because it was easier to do. But in the long run we need to
  make this system flexible, to allow admins to customize the options
  listed here.

  This will be challenging because the hard-coded system allows us to
  also generate custom URLs for each system, and provide custom icons
  for them. With a custom system, I suppose we'd want to provide some
  kind of variable-based URL generator, and/or maybe fetch the favicon
  for the domain name?
