activitypub: Sign the Host header too

Mastodon with `AUTHORIZED_FETCH` enabled requires the `Host` header to
be signed too, add it to the default for `setting.Federation.GetHeaders`
and `setting.Federation.PostHeaders`.

For this to work, we need to sign the request later: not immediately
after `NewRequest`, but just before sending them out with `client.Do`.
Doing so also lets us use `setting.Federation.GetHeaders` (we were using
`.PostHeaders` even for GET requests before).
