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.

 - **Link previews follow owner decision 1** (`Domain/Content/LinkPreviews.cs`): only public posts, queued on arrival with
   0–60 s of jitter, one cached `LinkPreview` per address for the whole server, never fetched when someone reads.
   `LinkPreviews.Wanted` is called where posts are saved (`CreateHandler`, `StoreContext`, `StatusService.Publish`).
+- **Quote states come from `QuoteService.Resolve`:**
+  - with a stamp: accepted only if `Verified` (fetched, on the quoted author's origin, naming both posts exactly);
+  - a FEP-044f `quote` without a stamp: pending;
+  - older keys only: accepted when the quoted post is public.
+
+  `QuotesCount` moves with the accepted state, never with the raw key. When a persona quotes, `QuotePermission` decides:
+  asking first for posts that state a policy, quoting at once for posts that state none, refusing otherwise. Only `quote`
+  of a post that asks for consent puts `quote` in our JSON; older-key quotes leave it out, as Sharkey learned they must.
 - **A server is described on arrival, never on read.** The first record from a host enqueues `DescribeInstance` (its
   NodeInfo, at most once a week, into `RemoteInstance`), so opening the details view tells nobody anything.
 - **Post ids are the timeline order, so they follow arrival, not `published`.** `PrivacyIds.Arrived` gives a remote post
