In profiles, replace Google+ by social media that is more relevant today #259

Google+ was shut down in 2019, so it no longer makes sense to offer it as a form field in the user profile's website section.

If you want to offer social media fields in addition to the user's personal website/blog/etc., it should probably be Twitter, Mastodon and LinkedIn (I personally do not want to suggest Facebook or any of its associated properties like Instagram due to their simultaneously dystopian and superficial nature, but I guess those could also be available as fields if you must)?
