In the unified view each row can be shaded with its account colour instead of carrying an account dot, behind a layout setting. Tags keep their own generated hue on their chips.
Connected accounts were told apart by a coloured dot whose hue came from hashing the address, which collides: two accounts out of a handful can land on the same colour and become indistinguishable in the switcher and in any list tinted by account. Each account can now carry a picture, centred and resized to 128px in the browser, and a colour chosen by hand. Both show wherever the account appears - switcher, rail, sidebar groups, settings list - and the colour also drives the interface accent for the account being viewed. A hand-picked colour outside the built-in palette used to fall back to a grey row tint; it now maps onto the nearest palette tint by hue, so a custom colour stays visible in aggregate lists. The picture never leaves the browser: it is stored with the account registry, not sent to the mail server.

Stacked on #1052 - review that first; this branch contains its commit.
