Deliveries to followers carry a digest of them, per server

Owner decision of 2026-10-06 (FEP-8fcf). A persona's delivery addressed to its followers carries a signed
Collection-Synchronization header naming its followers, its roll-call (…/groupies/roll-call) and the digest of its
accepted followers on the receiving server only. The roll-call answers a signed request with the persona's followers
on the signer's server and nobody else's.

Mastodon gives every Undo{Follow} it sends after reading a roll-call the same id (…#follows//undo), so a second one
looked like a copy: an Undo of a Follow that comes again while the follow it ends exists again is now kept once per
follow.

Checked live (scenarios/followsync.sh): Mastodon drops a follow PrivaPub lost, and undoes one it lost itself.
