******** ABSTRACT ********
This addon script allows an administrator to upload an avatar for a user, regardless of whether users are permitted to upload their own avatars. The database is updated appropriately.
The avatar directory path, URL and the maximum avatar file size are obtained from the config settings $config['avatars'], $config['avatarurl'] and $config['avatarsize'].
The maximum avatar dimensions are obtained from the theme settings $theme['PictureWidth'] and $theme['PictureHeight'].
The permissible avatar file types (.gif, .jpg and .png) are hardcoded here.
The PHP function getimagesize is used for checking the image dimensions and image type.
------------ P.S. The instructions show how to add this function to the admin menu, but you can also run this as a standalone script, if you prefer not to modify admin/menu.php.
