This PR is part of #4767. It
1. adds the ability to follow a local person from a distant federation server (see tests/integration/api_activitypub_person_inbox_follow_test.go)
2. streamlines the router code (refactor the person conversion & handling of inbox requests in service direction, unifies service call signature & error handling)
3. introduces queues for decoupling outgoing communication (delivery retry to cope network issues or distant service downtimes) and
4. adds minor fixes to integration tests (test timeout & invalid inbox activities)

This reverts commit e271c24100.
It was an experiment to verify that adding a delay to the test make a difference. But it does not so... reverting.
@jerger before engaging in a refactor, it is necessary to get to the bottom of this:
- Find the root cause of those failures
- Fix it in a minimal way

- A mistake that is often made is to not put a empty fixture for tables that gets populated in a test and should be cleaned up between runs. The CI does not detect such issues as these never arise on the first run of the test suite and are only noticed when developers run a test for a second time, unless you are aware of this behavior (which very few do as this is not documented and pure folk knowledge) can end up in chasing a bug that does not exist for hours. forgejo/forgejo#7041, forgejo/forgejo#7419, meissa/forgejo#21, forgejo/forgejo#5771
- Because we now own the fixture loader (forgejo/forgejo#7715), its rather simple to ensure that all tables that did not receive fixtures should be cleaned between runs and removes the need to place empty fixture files.

This is my take to fix#6078
Should also resolve#6111
As far as I can tell, Forgejo uses only a subset of the relative-time functionality, and as far as I can see, this subset can be implemented using browser built-in date conversion and arithmetic. So I wrote a JavaScript to format the relative-time element accordingly, and a Go binding to generate the translated elements.
This is my first time writing Go code, and my first time coding for a large-scale server application, so please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if the whole approach is not acceptable.

This requires using the more complicated parsing from localestore.go
In order to avoid future code drift and code duplication,
localestore.go was refactored to call IterateMessagesContent instead of
essentially duplicating the code of RecursivelyAddTranslationsFromJSON
with small adjustments.
locale/utils.go was moved to translation/localeiter/utils.go
in order to avoid spreading translation-related routines among completely
different places.

Allow translating theme names. Not even for i18n reasons but because this way the menu is clearer and cleaner.
The number of translated entries is kept minimal for now. It is easy to pollute locales with these names otherwise.

Identical to console, file or conn but writes to a buffer instead.
It is useful in two contexts:
- tests that need to assert the logs in a way that is simpler than
LogChecker.
- capturing the logs of a given task to display in the web UI,
return from the API, etc.
Since all logged events at a given level are written to the buffer by default, it is best used with WriterMode.Expression to only keep the log lines of interest.
