 This is a follow-up to #6290.

 Ideally, if a webcam is not attached to the computer or if the browser
 does not support `getUserMedia`, we should remove the "`Camera`" tab from
 view.

 I've attached a patch that addresses this, but the caveat is for those
 browsers / devices that support webcams, the browser will show the "`SITE
 wants to use your camera`" prompt even on the "Upload" tab.

 With this patch, the pro is browsers that do not support webcams or do not
 have webcams attached to their com will not see the "`Camera`" tab. The
 con is those with webcams will see the browser's "`wants to use your
 camera`" prompt even on the avatar's "`Upload`" tab.  This could annoy
 people, which is why I'm not sure if this issue is worth addressing.
