[drupal-devel] [bug] Clean up Administer - Users - Configure

Looks good, Steven.

Can we call "access rules" something else? The "long" description is
that they are username and email filters. What is a short name that
better indicates this?

Maybe:
* user filters (might imply sorting users)
* account filters (username + email is always required -- I like this
one the best)
* account rules (this one is OK too)

The current page we have at "administer - users - configure" contains
several important pages: roles, permissions, access rules and user
profiles. These 4 items are buried too deep and are thus hard to find.
I also think that roles/permissions/access rules are not really related
to the users (i.e. the people) but more with the accounts that are
linked to them.

Most things are described by this illustration with Kika-style notes
;)

This patch also fixes a couple of small things, like adding
drupal_gotos or improving the contextual help a bit.

Sorry, I forgot some paths in profile.module. Better patch attached.
