Applies a targeted profile change — swapping the avatar or cover photo, or deactivating the account.

Media URLs must resolve to an unclaimed uploaded media row, otherwise the call fails; the previous image is queued for cleanup. Sending data[status]=deactivated on an active profile blanks the profile status and stamps the deactivation time, and returns early without touching anything else.
