Support a block list

[voxpelli]

As discussed in https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/473 it would be useful to be able to import a Twitter block list, or any block list, to automatically block some mentions (so one doesn't have to manually block them though https://github.com/voxpelli/webpage-webmentions/issues/28).

This endpoint should be able to consume and subscribe to such block lists (and ideally discover them from a user profile when someone eg. signs in using IndieAuth, https://github.com/voxpelli/webpage-webmentions/issues/30)

There may be two features here:

• block all webmentions from certain sites / profiles
• block webmentions from particular permalinks (like a persistent "delete" of a webmention), like deleting a particular comment on your post

@voxpelli just fyi https://granary-demo.appspot.com/ now fetches twitter block lists and converts them to mf2! feel free to try, and use it if you want.

Great @snarfed! Hopefully I can get around to implement this in the not too far future
