* Whenever a remote keypair changes, unfollow them and re-subscribe to them
In Mastodon (it could be different for other OStatus or AP-enabled software),
a keypair change is indicative of whole user (or instance) data loss. In this
situation, the “new” user might be different, and almost certainly has an empty
followers list. In this case, Mastodon instances will disagree on follower
lists, leading to unreliable delivery and “shadow followers”, that is users
believed by a remote instance to be followers, without the affected user
knowing.
Drawbacks of this change are:
1. If an user legitimately changes public key for some reason without losing
data (not possible in Mastodon at the moment), they will have their remote
followers unsubscribed/re-subscribed needlessly.
2. Depending of the number of remote followers, this may generate quite some
traffic.
3. If the user change is an attempt at usurpation, the remote followers will
unknowingly follow the usurper. Note that this is *not* a change of
behavior, Mastodon already behaves like that, although delivery might be
unreliable, and the usurper would not have known the former user's
followers.

* Disable time window validation for signed requests, restore 7 days
as PuSH subscription duration (which was previous default due to a bug)
