fix(federation): set correct homeInstance in relay payload and fix canonical backfill SQL

- buildRelayPayload now uses config.domain for local users instead of
  empty string, so the relay receiver can resolve the user
- Fixed canonical_pair_id backfill: SQLite NULL || ':' || x = NULL,
  so use COALESCE(home_user_id, id) instead of concatenation
