A remote handle on its own domain, once that domain's WebFinger agrees (FEP-2c59)

An account on a server whose handles are not its host's (Mastodon's LOCAL_DOMAIN apart from WEB_DOMAIN) showed as
user@host. The actor's `webfinger` names the handle; its domain is kept once WebFinger there points back to the actor,
and asked again when the name changes. A persona's blocked servers match a handle's domain as well as the actor's host,
as the lists Mastodon exports name handles' domains.
