This is not (and as far as I know, was never) used. If we want to make
standalone photos commentable, we can always add it back, but it would
also need to change federation for it to work, because comments support
only posts there. But for now it makes the code cleaner and easier to
remove it.
This ensures the hostname is downcase and thus subsequent third party library
assumptions hold, namely http-cookie (pulled through faraday-cookie_jar) doesn't
raise

This implements archive import feature.
The feature is divided in two main subfeatures: archive validation and archive import.
Archive validation performs different validation on input user archive. This can be
used without actually running import, e.g. when user wants to check the archive
before import from the frontend. Validators may add messages and modify the archive.
Validators are separated in two types: critical validators and non-critical validators.
If validations by critical validators fail it means we can't import archive.
If non-critical validations fail, we can import archive, but some warning messages
are rendered.
Also validators may change archive contents, e.g. when some entity can't be
imported it may be removed from the archive.
Validators' job is to take away complexity from the importer and perform the validations
which are not implemented in other parts of the system, e.g. DB validations or
diaspora_federation entity validations.
Archive importer then takes the modified archive from the validator and imports it.
In order to incapsulate high-level migration logic a MigrationService is
introduced. MigrationService links ArchiveValidator, ArchiveImporter and
AccountMigration.
Also here is introduced a rake task which may be used by podmins to run archive
import.
When there were posts with many followed tags they were returned
multiple times, resulting in less than 15 unique posts. That resulted in
some posts to be missed in the stream.

The limit was added in 2012 to prevent spam, but since the participants
need to be a mutual contact with the author nowadays, I don't think it's
a spam problem anymore.
