This pull request updates a bunch of our logic to send out polite LikeRequests, ReplyRequests, and AnnounceRequests where appropriate, instead of sending out "impolite" Likes, Create.Notes, and Announces.
GtS v0.20.0 and above should be compatible with these changes, but it will break compatibility for versions of GtS below that version, which do not understand LikeRequest, ReplyRequest, and AnnounceRequest (unfortunately!). Not much to be done about that, unfortunately!
This is part of the process of bringing GtS's way of doing interactions in line with the stuff Mastodon introduced in their QuoteRequest stuff, and paves the way to us also doing QuoteRequests at some point.
