proxyUrl endpoint support

What's Changed

• New spec feature: proxied remote object requests by @wmurphyrd in #58
• Avoid uneccesary caught exception when processing new contexts
• Improve test stability

Upgrade notes

If you supply a proxyUrl endpoint, new actors will be created with it in their profiles automatically, but you will need to run a migration and publish updates to add it to existing actors

Full Changelog: v3.0.0...v3.1.0

v3.0.0 Update dependencies, MongoDB 4.x driver

v2.3.0 - implement nodeinfo standard

nodeinfo

nodeinfo is a popular method for discovering information about servers in the fediverse, and now it is supported by Apex. New settings have been added (listed in README) to configure your node's nodeinfo. A new index is added to the database to ensure the user count queries are fast, but this does not require a migration unless you've added an index to objects collection that already covers id and type. Please file an issue if you encounter any difficult upgrading.

Client-to-server unfollow

Make unfollow easier: clients can now send an actor id in place of an activity id for Reject & Undo activities and the server will find and replace with the Follow activity id for that actor.

Improved client-to-server usability

Breaking changes

• The form of some collection items have been updated to provide resolved objects instead of IDs
  • inbox, outbox, shares, likes, added: activity with embedded actor object
  • followers: followed actor as object
