Ingest posts via LitePub relay protocol #79

LitePub Relay Protocol is documented in FEP-ae0c: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ae0c/fep-ae0c.md#litepub-relay-protocol

It may work like this:

Server actor follows Buzzrelay.
Buzzrelay follows back.
Server actor starts publishing Announce(Note) and delivers them to Buzzrelay
Tag/instance actors re-announce Notes to their followers

There is #11 which attempts to implement something similar, but it is incomplete.

Another option is supporting Mastodon relay protocol (also documented in FEP-ae0c), but I think LitePub is better:

It is simpler, and only uses standard Follow and Announce activities.
Mastodon relay protocol requires messages to have Linked Data signatures.
Mastodon instances already can publish posts via Streaming API.
