the user agent including bot made my server unfederatable with another due to them blocking user agents with bot inside of them, and also it doesn't make sense to include this in federation requests because the federation endpoints are obviously going to be clogged by other "bots"

merge request: #1372/files

logs: https://files.nelliel.cv/qijH1z07.txt (note that the number is so little because i don't usually log anything on these endpoints)

when looking at my logs i noticed something interesting 🤨 the continuwuity useragent used by c10y servers was different from all other homeserver implementations i.e. instead of `continuwuity/0.5.6+f61d1a11 (bot; +https://continuwuity.org)` it should just be `continuwuity/0.5.6+f61d1a11` or even exclude the hash too the user agent including `bot` made my server unfederatable with another due to them blocking user agents with `bot` inside of them, and also it doesn't make sense to include this in federation requests because the federation endpoints are obviously going to be clogged by other "bots" merge request: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/pulls/1372/files#diff-e7b2f8572e92ecd3a5d6de2e762c43a1df3f401b logs: https://files.nelliel.cv/qijH1z07.txt (note that the number is so little because i don't usually log anything on these endpoints)
