Prune Objects --keep-threads option (#350)
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline is pending Details

This adds an option to the prune_objects mix task.
The original way deleted all non-local public posts older than a certain time frame.
Here we add a different query which you can call using the option --keep-threads.

We query from the activities table all context id's where
    1. the newest activity with this context is still old
    2. none of the activities with this context is is local
    3. none of the activities with this context is bookmarked
and delete all objects with these contexts.

The idea is that posts with local activities (posts, replies, likes, repeats...) may be interesting to keep.
Besides that, a post lives in a certain context (the thread), so we keep the whole thread as well.

Caveats:
* ~~Quotes have a different context. Therefore, when someone quotes a post, it's possible the quoted post will still be deleted.~~ fixed in #379
* Although undocumented (in docs/docs/administration/CLI_tasks/database.md/#prune-old-remote-posts-from-the-database), the 'normal' delete action still kept old remote non-public posts. I added an option to keep this behaviour, but this also means that you now have to explicitly provide that option. **This could be considered a breaking change!**
* ~~Note that this removes from the objects table, but not from the activities.~~ See #427 for that.

Some statistics from explain analyse:

**TODO**
1. [x] **Question:** Is it OK to keep it like this in regard to quote posts? If not (ie post quoted by local users should also be kept), should we give quotes the same context as the post they are quoting? (If we don't want to give them the same context, I'll have to see how/if I can do it without being too costly)
    * See #379
2. [x] **Question:** the "original" query only deletes public posts (this is undocumented, but you can check the code). This new one doesn't care for scope. From the docs I get that the idea is that posts can be refetched when needed. But I have from a trusted source that Pleroma can't refetch non-public posts. I assume that's the reason why they are kept here. I see different options to deal with this
    1. ~~We keep it as currently implemented and just don't care about scope with this option~~
    2. ~~We add logic to not delete non-public posts either (I'll have to see how costly that becomes)~~
    3. We add an extra --keep-non-public parameter. This is technically speaking breakage (you didn't have to provide a param before for this, now you do), but I'm inclined to not care much because it wasn't documented nor tested in the first place.
3. [x] See if we can do the query using Elixir
4. [x] Test on a bigger DB to see that we don't run into a timeout
5. [x] Add docs

### Options
- `--keep-threads` - don't prune posts when they are part of a thread where at least one post has seen local interaction (e.g. one of the posts is a local post, or is favourited by a local user, or has been repeated by a local user...)
- `--keep-non-public` - keep non-public posts like DM's and followers-only, even if they are remote
- `--vacuum` - run `VACUUM FULL` after the objects are pruned
