A remote post's canReply, canLike and canAnnounce (with the older always and approvalRequired) are kept beside
canQuote and judged for each persona: let in at once when the rule names the public, the persona, the author's
followers while it follows the author, or the accounts the author follows while the author follows it; asked first
when only the manual list names it; refused (422) otherwise. Asked first, a ReplyRequest, LikeRequest or
AnnounceRequest with the interaction as its instrument goes to the author alone, and the interaction waits
(privapub.approval: pending). The author's Accept brings an authorization, verified on the author's origin as naming the
interaction and the post; the reply then goes out with replyAuthorization, the boost with announceAuthorization, the
like with likeAuthorization. A Reject leaves the reply ours alone and takes a like or a boost back. As a third party, a
reply a policy does not let in at once is kept only with an authorization that verifies. Clients see the rules as
GoToSocial's interaction_policy.
Checked live against GoToSocial 0.22.1: the scenario's nine new checks pass (64 in all), a reply and a like approved
through its interaction requests and a boost refused.

Following records what a local persona follows, local or remote, with
its state and the Follow activity's id. FollowService (behind
/clientapi/follow, /clientapi/unfollow and /clientapi/following):
- resolves @user, user@host or an actor URI;
- a local account is followed in-process: accepted unless it approves
followers by hand, a Follower row on the other side, a community gains
the persona as a member, and a Follow or FollowRequest notification;
- a remote account gets a Follow signed by the persona, at
/grunts/follow-{id}, and stays Requested until an Accept;
- unfollowing deletes the rows, or sends Undo{Follow} to a remote account.
Inbound Accept and Reject are matched to the Follow by its id (or, for an
embedded Follow without one, by its actor), and only from the account that
was followed. A remote Follow now notifies the persona too.
Notification is the per-persona record P1.2 builds on, deduplicated by
type, persona, sender and post. TimelineEntry and Favourite are created
with their indexes for the next commits.
