Properly federate "like" objects

<!-- Please use a concise and distinct title for the issue --> <!-- Consider: Could it be implemented as a 3rd party app using the REST API instead? --> ### Pitch 1. Incoming `like` objects are applied to posts, and posts are fetched for newly seen ones (similar to how `announce` objects are handled. 2. Any generated `like` objects are federated to all followers (and of course the poster), similar to how replies work. ### Motivation Many Fediverse softwares, for example, Prismo and PeerTube, threat likes as important information, so Mastodon should properly handle them. Also, this would further fill out federated timelines, since you'd see all posts that anyone followed on your instance likes, as opposed to only the ones they boost or reply to.
