Support cross app comments.

[dhk2]

Big fan. Though of a possible enhancement today while working on PeerTube Boostagram support.

If the item being boosted has podcast:socialinteract configured with the activitypub protocol, The bot could post as a reply to the base post instead of to its own timeline. Thus making the boosts show up in cross-app comments for the episode.

Made a little Proof of Concept (PoC) and it works fine. When the Boost comes in it needs to pull the RSS feed and find related item. I did not except the ID of the status on the local server to be different then that on the remote server; It needs to find the local ID via the V2 search API before posting a reply.
