Replace the BP redirect buttons in the profile_pic and banner cards with inline file inputs and AJAX upload using BuddyPress's internal upload handlers.

All changes are complete with no syntax errors. Here's a summary:
---
## Summary
### What was done
Replaced the BP redirect buttons ("Upload via BuddyPress") in the **profile_pic** and **banner** cards with inline file inputs and AJAX upload using BuddyPress's internal upload handlers.
### Files modified
**1. `/var/www/html/wp-content/mu-plugins/profe-profile-cards.php`**
- **Added inline CSS** (lines 393-437): New styles for `.card-file-input-wrap`, `.card-file-input` (visually hidden), `.card-file-label` (styled as a button with dark theme), and `.card-file-preview`.
- **Removed `bpAvatarUrl` and `bpCoverUrl`** from the `wp_localize_script` call (these are no longer needed since we no longer redirect to BP's native upload pages).
- **Added `profe_ajax_upload_avatar()`** (line 493): New `wp_ajax_profe_upload_avatar` handler that uploads profile photos using BP's `bp_core_avatar_handle_upload()`, deletes the existing avatar via `bp_core_delete_existing_avatar()`, then crops via `bp_core_avatar_handle_crop()` with full dimensions. Returns the new avatar URL.
- **Added `profe_ajax_upload_cover()`** (line 565): New `wp_ajax_profe_upload_cover` handler that uploads cover images using `BP_Attachment_Cover_Image::upload()`, generates the fitted cover image via `bp_attachments_cover_image_generate_file()`, and fires `members_cover_image_uploaded`. Returns the new cover URL.
- Both handlers use the same nonce (`profe_profile_card_nonce`) as the existing AJAX system, check login/auth, and trigger `profe_profile_field_saved` for the profile completion tracker.
**2. `/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/profe-theme/assets/js/profe-profile-cards.js`**
- **Added file input change handler** (`.card-file-input` `change` event): Uses `FileReader` to generate a data-URI preview of the selected image and shows it in the `.card-file-preview` div.
- **Replaced the redirect click handler** for `.card-upload-btn`: Now detects the slug (`profile_pic` or `banner`), validates a file is selected, constructs a `FormData` object with the file, and sends it via `$.ajax` to the appropriate AJAX action (`profe_upload_avatar` or `profe_upload_cover`). Shows loading spinner during upload.
- **Added `updateImageDisplay()`**: Updates the card's avatar/cover display on successful upload (replaces the current image with the new URL) and also updates the sidebar header avatar.
- **Added reset logic** when opening a card: clears file input, preview, and messages.
- Old `bpAvatarUrl`/`bpCoverUrl` references removed.
**3. `/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/profe-theme/page-templates/community-3col.php`**

### BP internals used
- **`bp_core_avatar_handle_upload($file, $upload_dir_filter)`** — uploads avatar file using `BP_Attachment_Avatar`, shrinks if needed, stores in `$bp->avatar_admin->image->file`
- **`bp_core_delete_existing_avatar()`** — removes old avatar files before setting new ones
- **`bp_core_avatar_handle_crop()`** — crops the uploaded image to BP's full avatar dimensions (center crop, full image)
- **`bp_core_avatar_full_width/height()`** — gets the configured avatar dimensions
- **`BP_Attachment_Cover_Image::upload()`** — handles cover image file upload/validation
- **`bp_attachments_cover_image_upload_dir()`** — gets the BP cover image upload directory settings
- **`bp_attachments_cover_image_generate_file()`** — fits the uploaded image to cover dimensions, saves to the proper directory, and cleans up old files
- **`do_action('bp_core_avatar_uploaded')`** and **`do_action('members_cover_image_uploaded')`** — fires BP's standard hooks for compatibility
