Add support for local instance posts

[Steffo99]

A new platform feature is defined, @pleroma/local-only, which is marked as present only if the string akkoma or the string pleroma is found in the instance version string.

Note

The instance version string of the two is:

• X.Y.Z (compatible; Akkoma M.N.O)
• X.Y.Z (compatible; Pleroma M.N.O)

If this feature is supported, a new post visibility option is added to the post compose visibility selector, "Local instance", which sets the visibility to "local".

The post viewer is also updated accordingly; while local-only posts could already be seen previously, they didn't have anything written in the .extra-meta section, and didn't display a visibility icon.

The building icon has been selected as the symbol for "Local instance" posts, as it's already used in the main menu to denote the Local timeline.

How would you like me to resolve merge conflicts in .po files?

I don't have an account on Misskey to confirm it's available there (and I'm not even sure it's compatible with the Mastodon API in first place), but I had a Firefish instance, and I've had a test account on an Iceshrimp one, and there "Local" is an on-off toggle separate from visibility:

On Firefish and Iceshrimp

Visibility	Direct messages	Home timeline	Public profile	Local timeline	Federated timeline
Public	❌	🟢	🟢	🟢	🟢
Local Public	❌	🔷	🔷	🔷	🔷
Unlisted	❌	🟨	🟢	❌	❌
Local Unlisted	❌	🔶	🔷	❌	❌
Followers	❌	🟨	🟨	❌	❌
Local Followers	❌	🔶	🔶	❌	❌
Direct	🤍	🤍	❌	❌	❌
Local Direct	🧡	🧡	❌	❌	❌

Emoji	Meaning
🟢	Anybody can see
🔷	Anybody can see if they look on the server the post was made, even without an account, but not through federation (different from Pleroma/Akkoma!)
🟨	Followers and mentioned can see
🔶	Any followers of the poster or mentioned in the post on the same server of the poster can see
🤍	Mentioned can see
🧡	Mentioned on the same server of the poster can see
❌	Not visible

Not sure about Hometown either; I don't have any instances close to my bubble running it...

I'm on a Hometown server, and yes, it's an on-off toggle separate from visibility. It is the same in Mastodon Glitch. Would love to have support for this built into Phanpy; what would it require? @Steffo99

Implementing the toggle shouldn't be difficult, but we'd need to know where to put it...

What do you think, @cheeaun?
