Add 'syndication' as link type to receive webmention.

[kixiQu]

Sites like https://indieweb.xyz and https://news.indieweb.org use a webmention sent for a link with "u-syndication" indicated, see: https://indieweb.xyz/howto/en and https://news.indieweb.org/how-to-submit-a-post It's possible that this would be a good moment to reexamine whether there are other classes of link that merit inclusion here, but this change is limited to what I know would be useful for a user of the service (i.e., me).

I think this might be my first Github PR? Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make this an acceptable change.

Thanks for sending this through. We you able to test the code with this code or is it a change in theory?

Originally the body of my post linked to indieweb.xyz which caused me some confusion because this line selected the body link not the syndication link, so the body link did not have the webmention endpoint attached to it. Separate issue, though.

Let me know if there's anything else you need here.

I noticed this as well while trying to automate sending webmentions to brid.gy.

As mentioned in #50, if the syndication links are inside of e-content then the link is captured correctly. Because the syndication links are typically outside of e-content similar to replies, bookmarks, etc, it makes sense to add it as shown in PR #31.

In a HWC, someone recommended sending mentions for all u-* urls. This would also work with u-bridgy-fed urls.
