Web: don't allow sites without feed or mf2 h-card #1458

We get a number of sites now that have no RSS or Atom feed or mf2, and are unlikely to post via webmention. It's awkward to bridge those if we'll never bridge any posts for them.

We can easily tell if there's an RSS or Atom feed right now, and we know if a site has already sent us a webmention or not, but we don't distinguish where profile info comes from, ie mf2 vs mf1 vs metaformats.

Maybe the most likely thing to do hwere would be to try to detect mf2 at fetch time and store it in a new Web.has_mf2_hcard property, and either backfill or only block a site if we fetched their homepage after we launch that.

This is needed to do #1403 for web users.
