Don't embed the first page in inboxes/outboxes and refactor the views to

follow View/Controller pattern

Note that I mentioned the change in 1.1 section because I intend to
backport this, if this is not needed I will move it back to Unreleased.

 - AdminAPI: Add "godmode" while fetching user statuses (i.e. admin can see private statuses)
 - Improve digest email template
 – Pagination: (optional) return `total` alongside with `items` when paginating
+- ActivityPub: The first page in inboxes/outboxes is no longer embedded.
