Podcast episodes play; servers with NodeInfo2 only are described

Castopod announces an episode with a Note that only links to the episode's page, which serves a PodcastEpisode. PrivaPub
reads PodcastEpisode (its words in description, its sound in audio, its cover in image), and a Note that is only a link
to its author's own episode takes the episode's sound, title, cover and words, so the post plays. A server that
publishes no NodeInfo is described from NodeInfo2 (/.well-known/x-nodeinfo2), as Castopod publishes.
