fix(federation): branching message lookup in reaction relay processors

Uses messageHomeInstance to determine whether the target message
originated locally (lookup by ID) or was replicated from another
instance (lookup by sourceInstance + sourceMessageId). Supports
N-instance federation and falls back to relay-sender lookup for
backward compatibility with in-flight outbox entries.
