✨ Feature/bug - Anonymize image file names on user upload

[alfredgrip]

Short description of the feature

Currently when someone uploads a profile picture, the name of the file uploaded is stored. See screenshot.

Of course hero-image.jpg in the screen shot is not a concern since that is not a user profile picture.
This behavior is at least the case for profile pictures, I don't know if other parts are of the site is affected as well.

Why do you want this feature?

I guess most of the time an image you upload has some name like IMG_XXXX so it's not a big deal, but to have more user privacy a file name change could be implemented before it gets sent to the database. Either randomized or tied to user userid/stilid.
If your local file name was I_look_so_good_in_this_image, maybe you wouldn't want to share that with everyone.
Also I don't think there is any real reason to store this information.

I find that in https://github.com/Dsek-LTH/member-page/blob/3f71ea4440516048a965454ce938c01733ff9597/frontend/pages/members/[id]/change-profile-picture.tsx#L77 there is some randomization going on to the file name, but this isn't actually reflected as seen in the screenshot provided. So this might actually be a bug?

Who else could want this feature?

Probably not a high priority, and I guess most users don't even know about this behavior but it could be appreciated and shouldn't be hard to implement.

If I recall correctly, this should already be fixed. Previously uploaded photos will still show their original names, but any photos uploaded now should get generated names.

Actually no, this is not the case. I just tried this, see screen recording. Seems to append some number to the file name this time at least.
