This patch makes Vervis temporarily unusable, because all actors' inbox POST
handlers use the new system, but the actual federation handler code hasn't been
ported. The next patches will port all the S2S activities supported so far, as
well as C2S.
FedURIs, until now, have been requiring HTTPS, and no port number, and DNS
internet domain names. This works just fine on the forge fediverse, but it
makes local dev builds much less useful.
This patch introduces URI types that have a type tag specifying one of 2 modes:
- `Dev`: Works with URIs like `http://localhost:3000/s/fr33`
- `Fed`: Works with URIs like `https://dev.community/s/fr33`
This should allow even to run multiple federating instances for development,
without needing TLS or reverse proxies or editing the hosts files or anything
like that.
I wrote a function handleOutboxNote that's supposed to do the whole outbox POST
handler process. There's an outbox item table in the DB now, I adapted things
in various source files. Ticket comment federation work is still in progress.
