feat(federation): add /users/by-home-id reverse lookup for stub backfill

HMAC-authenticated, rate-limited (60/min/peer) endpoint that resolves a
homeUserId on this instance to its canonical username + profile snapshot.
Native non-deleted users only. Mirrors /users/lookup's auth shape.

Adds lookupRemoteUserByHomeId to federationLookup.ts as the client-side
helper. Used by the upcoming stub-backfill worker on peers that hold legacy
snowflake-named replicas of users now visible by their real handle.

/**
* Reverse-lookup: ask the peer for a user by homeUserId. Used by the stub
* backfill worker to translate legacy snowflake-named stubs into realname-named
* stubs. Mirrors lookupRemoteUser's auth + error semantics.
*
* `not_found` here means "the peer does not host a native non-deleted user
* with that homeUserId" — including the tombstone case. Caller should leave
* the local stub untouched and retry on the next peer activation.
