fediverse: cache-buster on music listen-link to force a fresh SQUARE player card

Mastodon caches the player-card dimensions per URL and won't re-crawl a recent card,
so existing posts kept the old landscape ratio. Appending ?fc=<ver> to the listen-link
(playable posts only) makes Mastodon treat it as a new card URL and re-crawl it at
480x480. Link text stays clean; the page ignores the param. Bump FEDI_CARD_VER on
future dimension changes.
