This PR adds a "Hometown" tab to the "Server Settings" menu for
administrators. I have placed our site-wide RSS default opt-in/opt-out
setting here, and future Hometown-specific site-wide settings will go
there too.
This PR also brings back the site-wide setting for whether users are
default opted in to or out of search engine indexing (thanks @prplecake)
and the site-wide setting for whether the list of discovered servers is
available to the public via the API. Both options are under Server
Settings -> Discovery now.
Fixes#1211

There is now a `norss` user preference for a user to opt out of having an RSS feed of their public posts. This operates on the exact same logic as the existing `noindex` for the search engine opt-out: the admin can check a box in Site Settings for a default setting for users. If a user has never touched their RSS opt-out setting then it is equal to whatever the default is. But individual users can override the default in their Preferences -> Other menu.
So a privacy-minded server admin could opt everyone out by default, but the overall default behavior is to have RSS feeds of public posts for everyone, which is the default Mastodon behavior anyway.
The `norss`, like `noindex`, is just a key on a pre-existing `settings` object that is a key-value store, so there doesn't even need to be a database migration for this!

* Do not serve account actors at all in limited federation mode
When an account is fetched without a signature from an allowed instance,
return an error.
This isn't really an improvement in security, as the only information that was
previously returned was required protocol-level info, and the only personal bit
was the existence of the account. The existence of the account can still be
checked by issuing a webfinger query, as those are accepted without signatures.
However, this change makes it so that unallowed instances won't create account
records on their end when they find a reference to an unknown account.
The previous behavior of rendering a limited list of fields, instead of not
rendering the actor at all, was in order to prevent situations in which two
instances in Authorized Fetch mode or Limited Federation mode would fail to
reach each other because resolving an account would require a signed query…
from an account which can only be fetched with a signed query itself. However,
this should now be fine as fetching accounts is done by signing on behalf of
the special instance actor, which does not require any kind of valid signature
to be fetched.

* Replace incorrect use of distinct with group
Some uses of ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#distinct pass field names but they
are incorrect for the current version of Rails.
ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#group provides the expected behavior and
benefits performance. See commit 6da24aad4cafdef8d8a2c92bac2002a5fc2fe9c8.
* Introduce ApplicationController#cache_collection_paginated_by_id
ApplicationController#cache_collection_paginated_by_id fuses
ApplicationController#cache_collection and Paginable.paginate_by_id.
An advantage of this method is that it prevents from modifying scope which
Paginable.paginate_by_id may provide.
ApplicationController#cache_collection always return an array and there
is no possibility of the scope modification. It is also clear for a
programmer, considering the implication of "cache".
This method can also emit more efficient queries by using
Cacheable.cache_ids before calling Paginable.paginate_by_id.
`request.format` is not a symbol but a `Mime::Type`, so the condition actually
never matched, and a session was created even for those requests, preventing
caching.
Do not start a session if the current user is not logged in for public-facing pages.
Mark pages that don't care about sessions as publicly cacheable.
Keep the max age as 0 so proxies and browsers will still try to retrieve an updated version but can still fall back to the stale version if the site is down or too slow.
