feat(journal): federation instance blocklist
Task group 3 of federation-hardening. There was no blocklist of any kind;
the only lever against a hostile instance was an IP/host block in Caddy.

- New `federation_blocked_instances` table (domain PK, reason,
  created_at). Additive → created by drizzle-kit push.
- `federation-blocklist.server.ts`: exact-host matching —
  `isBlockedDomain`, `isBlockedIri` (unparseable IRI ⇒ treated as
  blocked), and `filterBlockedDomains` for batch recipient filtering.
- Enforced at all three boundaries (spec: federation-operations
  "Instance blocklist"):
  - inbox — each of the 4 listeners silently drops a blocked actor's
    activity (202, no error oracle) before dedup/side effects;
  - delivery enqueue — `enqueueActivityDeliveries` filters blocked
    recipients in one batch query;
  - outbox poll / actor fetch — `pollRemoteActor` refuses a blocked host
    up front (`skipped: "blocked instance"`), before any network.
- Operator procedure (SQL insert/list/delete) documented in the
  deployment runbook's federation section.
- Tests: unit (hostOfIri) + integration against real Postgres covering
  the helper and the delivery + outbox boundaries; inbox uses the same
  tested isBlockedIri primitive.

Note: the inbox-drop *counter* (federation_inbox_dropped_total{reason})
lands with the other metrics in task 4.2; this commit is the enforcement.

Verified: db + journal typecheck + lint clean; drizzle-kit push creates
the table; blocklist integration tests green against real Postgres;
journal unit suite 357 passing.

// Instance blocklist (spec: federation-operations "Instance blocklist").
// A blocked domain is inert in both directions: its inbound activities are
// silently dropped, we send it no deliveries, and we don't fetch its
// actors/outboxes. Matching is exact-host (subdomain wildcarding is
// deferred until a real need). Management is a documented operator SQL
// procedure — see FEDERATION.md — with this table as the seam a future
// admin UI can sit on.
