An account that moves shows where it went

PrivaPub dropped Move as an unknown type and showed no `moved` on accounts.
Now a Move is believed as Mastodon believes it: the moving account sends it
about itself, and the new account, read again from its own server, names it
in alsoKnownAs (now kept on remote accounts). The old account then shows the
new one as `moved` in the Mastodon API. The personas following it keep
following it: following the new account on their behalf would tell another
server about them, so that waits for the owner.

Checked live against GoToSocial (scenarios/moves.sh: an alias, a move, 6
checks).

**Account moves (2026-10-05, `tools/pasture/scenarios/moves.sh`):** GoToSocial moves an account through its API (the new
one names the old in `alsoKnownAs` first, `/api/v1/accounts/alias`) and sends `Move{object: old, target: new}` to the
old one's followers. PrivaPub reads the new account again, finds the old one among its aliases and shows the old account
`moved`; 6 checks pass. PrivaPub dropped `Move` as an unknown type until then.
