Improve template helper (#24417)

It seems that we really need the "context function" soon. So we should
clean up the helper functions first.

Major changes:

* Improve StringUtils and add JsonUtils
* Remove one-time-use helper functions like CompareLink
* Move other code (no change) to util_avatar/util_render/util_misc (no
need to propose changes for them)

I have tested the changed templates:
