1. Get handle from atom feed's author/email field instead of guessing fr… …

   …om URL
   
   The goal of this change is to enhance Mastodon's handling of remote domains
   for which the APIs reside on a different host (see issue mastodon#1032).
   
   Indeed, when a remote user unknown to Mastodon is mentionned, only its profile
   URL (e.g. https://social.example.org/users/User) is known, and Mastodon has to
   build a @username@domain handle for it. To do so, Mastodon fetches the user's
   atom feed (e.g., https://social.example.org/users/User.atom) and uses its
   content to get the username part of the handle, and the URL's host part to
   build the domain (e.g., @user@social.example.org). This handle is then used
   for a Webfinger request.
   
   In the case where example.org serves the Webfinger info for @user@example.org
   and all feeds and APIs are hosted at social.example.org, Mastodon will still
   build @user@social.example.org and fail at resolving the account's details
   through Webfinger.
   
   This patch changes this behaviour by using the author's email address from
   the atom feed to build the handle. In Mastodon-generated atom feeds, the
   email address is always the handle it expects for federation.
