Fix repost syndication to ActivityPub

Reposts of plain web articles were sending an Announce activity whose
object URL remote servers could not resolve as an AP object, so the
boost silently disappeared from fediverse timelines.

patch-ap-repost-announce-fix now checks isApUrl() before sending
Announce — mirroring the existing Like fix. Non-AP URLs fall through
to Create(Note) which renders as a 🔁 link on the fediverse.

Also adds missing `id` and `cc: followers` to the Announce for AP URL
reposts, matching what boostPost() already generates for interactive
boosts from the AP reader.

/**
* Patch: fix repost syndication to ActivityPub.
*
* Previously, any repost sent an Announce activity with the repost-of URL as
* the object — even when that URL is a plain web article (not an AP object).
* Remote servers receive the Announce but cannot resolve the object, so the
* boost never appears on followers' timelines.
*
* The same problem applies to Likes, where the fix already exists: check
* isApUrl() first. This patch applies the same logic to reposts:
*
* - repost-of is an AP URL → proper Announce with id + cc (native boost)
* - repost-of is NOT an AP URL → fall through to Create(Note) which renders
* as "🔁 <link>" on the fediverse (same as the with-commentary path)
*
* Also adds missing `id` and `cc: followers` to the Announce (the interactive
* boostPost() method already generates these; the syndication path did not).
