Pull request overview

This PR adds notification support for boosts (reblogs), likes (favourites), and new followers to the Enable Mastodon Apps integration. It introduces a new api_notifications_get filter handler that aggregates notifications from ActivityPub comments (likes and reblogs) and follower records, returning them in Mastodon API format.

Key changes:

• Added notification filtering and aggregation for boosts, likes, and follows via api_notifications_get() method
• Refactored common Actor-to-Account conversion logic into a reusable actor_to_account() helper method
• Extended ActivityPub object type support from just 'Note' to include 'Article' types
