[Bug 1887870] [NEW] images/ icons should have descriptive link purpose

 

Public bug reported:

Generally speaking, Image link alt text should prioritise the link's purpose, i.e the profile icons on People Search page should describe the location they will go to not that they are alternative for a profile picture.
(WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose AA) https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/?showtechniques=244#link-purpose-in-context

Areas in Mahara where icons redirect to the person's profile page:
People Search page (admin/users/search.php)
Group members list : 
My Friends blocktype (eg. on any profile page)
