fix(federation): reject actors that point at other hosts

A remote actor could set its inbox or shared inbox to a third-party
host, so our signed deliveries went there. It could also claim
another actor's followers collection, which the visibility checks
trust.

Validate fetched actors and incoming actor Updates: inbox,
endpoints.sharedInbox, followers, following, featured and the
publicKey id must be on the same host as the actor id.

Based on Akkoma f07eb4cb5. The Bridgy fixture gets the key id that
current Bridgy Fed serves.
