feat: add own posts to ap_timeline after syndication

Own Micropub posts weren't appearing in Mastodon Client API timelines
(Phanpy/Moshidon) because there was no mechanism to add them to
ap_timeline. The inbox round-trip doesn't work (we don't follow
ourselves) and startup backfill only runs once.

Now the AP syndicator adds the post to ap_timeline after successful
delivery, using addTimelineItem ($setOnInsert — idempotent). Content
flows directly from Micropub properties with proper HTML links.
