Subject: [PATCH] fix: synthesize timeline content for likes/bookmarks/reposts

Interaction types (likes, bookmarks, reposts) have no body content in
their JF2 properties. The timeline entry was created with empty content,
showing blank posts in Phanpy/Moshidon. Now synthesizes display content
(e.g. "Liked: https://...") matching backfill-timeline.js behavior.
