Pixelfed places: a remote post's own place, shown and never federated again

A Note's `location` that is a Place with coordinates (Pixelfed sends
them as strings) is kept in the new Post.Place and shown as
Status.privapub.place {name, latitude, longitude, country}; an edit
replaces it. An Event's location stays its own `places`, and nothing
renders a place back out. Closes the INTEROP P2 Pixelfed location gap
and the ROADMAP long-tail item.
