 We have account settings in two places:
 - "WP.org Profile": https://profiles.wordpress.org/me
 - "Forum Profile": https://wordpress.org/support/users/profile

 This ticket proposes that we restructure the "WP.org Profile" by combining
 fields and moving the Two-Factor Authentication settings from the "Forum
 Profile" to the "WP.org Profile" making account-related settings easier to
 find.

 This is how "WP.org Profile" is currently organized:


 **General**
 - Username
 - Email
 - Security (Links to support forum)
 - GitHub Username
 - Name
 - About Me
 - Website Url
 - Current Location
 - WordPress Origin Story

 As you can see we have a mix of Account-related (u/email/security/GitHub)
 and profile fields.

 **Extras**
 - Company
 - Job Title
 - Interests
 - WordPress Usage

 It isn't clear what "Extras" is referring to as these are simply more
 profile fields. I first thought, "Oh maybe it's because its all the meta
 details", but no, fields in the "General" section also appear there.

 **Contribution**
 (This is fine.)


 **Suggestion:**
 - Rename "General" to "Profile"
 - Move the following fields to "Account & Security" tab
   - Username
   - GitHub Username
   - Security (2fa controls from Forum Profile)
 - Remove "Email" as its included in 2fa.
