fix(fedi): preserve newlines when federating to Mastodon

Klonkt renders post content with white-space:pre-wrap, so raw \n are line breaks on the
site, but Mastodon collapses whitespace and dropped them (a poem arrived as one block).
buildNote now converts newlines to <br> for the federated copy. Content authored with
shift+enter already uses <br> (no \n) → no-op there.
