Jannis Braun b698ded47d fix(federation): harden processFriendRequestCreateEvent receiver-side
Two correctness/defense fixes plus regression tests in the existing
in-memory drizzle test file.

1. Reverse-direction idempotency. The sender-side path in social.ts
   checks BOTH directions of friend_requests and returns 409
   incoming_request_exists when an opposite-direction row exists. The
   receiver only matched from->to, so cross-fire (alice@A and bob@B both
   click "add friend" near-simultaneously) produced two opposite
   pending rows on each instance. The receiver now silent-accepts when
   either direction matches a pending row, mirroring the sender's
   both-direction check.

2. Self-target guard (defense-in-depth). Reject events whose
   from-identity equals to-identity (after normalizeOriginForCompare)
   with a new receiver-acknowledged 4xx code self_target_invalid.
   Sender's local cannot_friend_self should catch this, but the
   receiver does not trust upstream validation. Added to
   TERMINAL_REJECTION_REASONS so the standard rollback fires
   (mapped client-side to peer_rejected). Logged at console.warn.

Spec updates: social.md inbound contract now documents both-direction
idempotency and the self-target guard; federation.md and the
s2s-friend-add design spec list the new terminal rejection reason.
