Syndication targets: Add Mastodon

[MaybeThisIsRu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My primary social network is Mastodon. I'd like to be able to syndicate content to my choice of Mastodon instance directly, similar to the Twitter syndicator.

Describe the solution you’d like
Upon publishing a new post, syndicate content to Mastodon if the syndication target was passed in

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
It is possible to use a cross-poster between Twitter and Mastodon, such as moa.party. Although I have not tried it, it's likely what I'd use once Indiekit v0.1 is officially released and until someone is able to contribute a patch/PR for a first-class Mastodon support.

Additional context
A secondary motivation with opening this issue is hopefully to get a little bit of idea from the author around what one needs to do/be aware of while developing such a plugin for Indiekit, and hopefully some technical pointers as well to get started.

Mastadon is a social network I currently cross post to as well (via Micro.blog), and I’d like to do that natively via IndieKit. I briefly looked into supporting this service, and it should be easy enough to do.

However, 2 things are preventing me from implementing this:

• The existing Twitter syndicator is buggy (and right now, broken). I want to iron out most of the issues with that plug-in before I add any more
• I’ve really got to stop adding features to v0.1 and just ship it!!

That makes sense. v0.2 is a super sensible milestone for this. 😊

@hirusi Got there eventually, and while not in v0.2, will be in v0.3. Sure we can’t tempt you back to the IndieWeb 😉
