P6: quote posts, received and sent (FEP-044f and the older keys)

- Received quotes: read from `quote`, `quoteUrl`, `quoteUri`, `_misskey_quote` or a FEP-e232 Link tag; the quoted post
  is fetched once; a quoteAuthorization stamp is verified field by field on the quoted author's origin; a consent
  quote without a stamp is pending; an older-key quote of a public post is shown; Delete of a stamp revokes. Counts
  and a `quote` notification follow the accepted state. The `quote-inline` fallback survives sanitising and is removed
  from content when the real quote is shown.
- Personas quote through `quoted_status_id`: posts that state a quote policy get a QuoteRequest and stay pending until
  an Accept brings a stamp we can verify, then an Update adds quoteAuthorization; posts that state none are quoted
  the older way, without `quote`; another persona's posts cannot be quoted yet (we issue no stamps). Quoting posts
  are delivered to the quoted author too.
- Mastodon API: Status.quote (with the quoted status one level deep), quotes_count, quote_approval from the remote
  policy, GET /api/v1/statuses/:id/quotes, `quote` notifications, and api_versions.mastodon = 7.

Checked live: GoToSocial's author-only quote policy is respected.
