Now that we have multiple APIs which can be signed outside of s2s, we should generalize the concept

For the record, the algorithm used in the IS is the same as that in the S2S API (see https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.4#request-authentication). That means that any implementation capable of receiving such requests needs to be capable of retrieving the requesting server's signing keys, which in turn means implementing the federation routing algorithm, complete with SRV lookup.
