Release v2.4.7 of Ktistec

After a mental health break, release v2.4.7 of Ktistec is out. The biggest improvement is the addition of a command line switch/option to run garbage collection on startup. Garbage collection, in this context, trims down your database by deleting old ActivityPub objects that are not connected to your user through:

Attribution: Objects attributed to you or actors you follow
Activities: Objects referenced by your activities or activities of actors you follow
Collections: Objects in your timeline, notifications, or outbox
Content: Objects with hashtags, mentions, or in threads you follow

It reduced the size of my database ~24%. Details on usage, warnings, etc. are in the README.

Other changes:

Fixed

Use single quotes for string literals in SQLite queries.
Fix WITH RECURSIVE queries.
Fix broken CI workflow.

Changed

Present local internal URLs as external URLs in posts.
Limit pagination size for unauthenticated users.
Better convey actor/object deleted/blocked status on index pages.
Improve presentation of inline code and code blocks.
Clip alt text on thumbnail images.

Other

Update cached copy of Lemmy's JSON-LD context.
