Administer the directory from iPX with an rwa token (#206)

Browse Source 
A Directory feed's page offers Check now and Remove to an admin whose token is rwa (the page
learns it from can_admin on the feed's page, asked of the directory only for admins). Admin,
Directory lists the servers sharing, from a new GET /v1/instances, and the blocked feeds by
title: a feed is often blocked because its address carries a key, so the address stays in the
directory. Unblocking or dropping a snapshot sends this server's snapshot again at once; since
directory's 403 reaches the page as 403, not 502.

With sharing on, ipx sends its snapshot when what it would send has changed (checked after every
scan, and whenever the catalogue or these settings change), and every half hour regardless (#211): each feed checked at least once, with how many people here subscribe,
and the category an admin gave a feed that names none. It never sends an OPML or a Patreon creator
itself (their feeds go instead), or a private feed. A feed's settings have a **Private** switch for
a paid feed iPX does not recognise by its address; anyone subscribed may turn it on, and only an
admin off.
When this server's token is `rwa`, its admins administer the directory from iPX (#206). A feed's
page in the Directory has **Check now** and **Remove from the directory**, which blocks it so no
server's snapshot brings it back. Admin, Directory lists the **Servers** sharing, by token name,
with how many feeds and subscribers each gave, and **Blocked**, by title, with Unblock. Dropping a
server's snapshot takes its feeds and counts out until it next shares; to keep a server out,
revoke its token. An admin's own subscriptions open as their feeds, not as Directory pages, so
removing one of those is done by marking it private, or from another admin's account.
