R9 Web Push, then the honest version: VAPID key, push subscriptions, encrypted pushes, 4.5.0 advertised

The server's VAPID key (PushKeys, made on first need, in Mongo) is the instance API's vapid.public_key and every app's
vapid_key. /api/v1/push/subscription (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE) keeps one subscription per access token, so per persona;
every notification kept (never a filtered one) is queued as a SendPush job for the subscriptions whose alert and policy
admit it, and sent through the `push` client (the safe handler, https only) encrypted as RFC 8291 aes128gcm or the
aesgcm draft with an ES256 VAPID JWT. 404/410 delete the subscription, 429/5xx/timeouts retry, other answers drop the
push. Subscriptions end with their tokens (revocation, sessions ended, suspension, deletion, a restore); backups hold
neither keys nor subscriptions. The walk of every Mastodon 4.3-4.5 client route (docs/MASTODON-API.md) added
conversations/:id/unread, domain_blocks/preview, v2 notifications clear and PUT policy, /oauth/userinfo and stubs, so both
instance APIs now say 4.5.0 (compatible; PrivaPub <release>). The pasture gets a push sink (pushsink.test) and
scenarios/push.sh in batch A.

## Web Push
Not federation, but traffic an operator may see: when a client signed in as a persona subscribes to Web Push (Mastodon's
`/api/v1/push/subscription`), PrivaPub POSTs its notifications to the push service the client named, encrypted to the
client (RFC 8291 `aes128gcm`, or the older `aesgcm` draft Mastodon still sends) and carrying a VAPID JWT (RFC 8292) signed
by the server's own P-256 key, the one `/api/v2/instance` gives as `configuration.vapid.public_key`. No HTTP signature
and no ActivityPub; https endpoints on public addresses only, no redirects. The push service learns when, never what.
