fix(federation): HTTP-sig replay window + mandatory digest (lqx); block boost-origin + exact-host purge (4lq)

lqx — verifyRequest now requires the Date header to be SIGNED and recent
(default +/-60min, env AP_SIG_MAX_SKEW_MIN), and requires a SIGNED Digest on
any request carrying a body. Without these a captured signed request could be
replayed indefinitely, or its body swapped (the body was uncovered by the
signature when Digest wasn't in the signed header set).

4lq — the Announce (boost) handler now drops a boost whose ORIGINAL author is
blocked (isBlockedAny(origUri)), closing a block bypass via someone else's
boost; and purgeBlocked matches a blocked domain by exact parsed host (same as
isBlockedAny) instead of a URL LIKE that missed bare-domain/:port actor URIs.
