Relays: PrivaPub reads from the relays its configuration names

Federation:Relays names relays by their actor (or inbox) address; the instance actor follows Public at each, as Mastodon
subscribes, a minute after start and every six hours (asked again a day after no answer or a refusal, undone when a
relay is no longer named). What an accepted relay passes on comes to the federated timeline and nobody's home: a public
post it forwards (Activity-Relay), read again from its origin like any forwarded post, and a post it announces
(aode-relay), kept as its author's and never as the relay's boost. Nothing of a persona's is sent to a relay; sending
public posts there waits for the owner.

The pasture gains both relays (peers/relay.sh, peers/aoderelay.sh) and scenarios/relay.sh, 13 checks. The village
backlog is clean: 2574 checks pass, one known gap (Misskey's).

## Relays
PrivaPub reads from the relays `Federation:Relays` names (by their actor's address, or their inbox's), none by default.
Its instance actor follows `Public` at each, as Mastodon subscribes (`Federation/Relays/Relays.cs`, a minute after start
and every six hours: an unanswered or refused subscription is asked again a day later, and a relay no longer named gets
the `Undo`). What an accepted relay passes on comes to the federated timeline, never to anyone's home: a public post it
forwards as its author sent it (Activity-Relay), read again from its origin like any forwarded post, and a post it
announces (aode-relay), kept as its author's and never as the relay's boost. Nothing else is taken from a relay, and
nothing of a persona's is sent to one: sending public posts to relays waits for the owner.
## Server descriptions and the crawler
PrivaPub keeps statistics about servers, never about accounts (see `/stargazing` on the server).
