use mastodon visibility #77

Atm all toots are synced, no matter what visibility on mastodon they have. The only consideration taken, is if a toot starts with an @, it is considered being directly addressing someone.
Sometimes you start a toot by mentioning someone, but it is not meant as a private text and should be synced, other times you write a toot not starting with an @, but mark it explicitly as a direct toot to only mentioned people.

Especially the second case is problematic, as this exposes directly addressed toots as public on the twitter side.

This change makes use of the mastodon visibility set, and only syncs toots which are either public or unlisted, but not those set explicitly to be private to the Mastodon followers of the user or directly to just the mentioned users.
