addresses #36

note mastodon/mastodon#17963; i expect they will ask for adjustments there; i further expect to make impactful design changes. i am still opening this PR as we are currently running this on GlitchCat anyway, with no reported problems

* Improve robustness for account string validation

Using unsupported prefixes now reports a 422; searching for posts from an
account the instance is not aware of reports a 404. TODO: The UI for this
on the front end is abysmal.

Searching `from:username@domain` now succeeds when `domain` is the local
domain; searching `from:@username(@Domain)?` now works as expected.

* Satisfy upstream rubcocp

* Unbreak upstream tests

we will not be incorporating upstream’s requested changes as i prefer to alert the user to syntactically invalid account strings; as well as to reject account strings like [email protected]@anthuesaho, which the upstream PR will accept

It’d be nice to have tests for at least the new methods, so that if something upstream breaks this we would have some manner of indication. I wouldn’t rate it as an especially high priority though.

We previously matched on one-character domains and domains ending with
`[\.-]`, allowing `from:@A@a` and `from:@A@a-` searches to cause an
account lookup. This commit will raise a syntax error in both cases, as
MENTION_RE would never match them.
Incorporates changes suggested in #37. In doing so, adopts an error
handling style more consistent with the existing codebase (for which I
must thank @ClearlyClaire).

Removes new code no longer in use.

i really should add tests but my smoke tests (running these commits briefly on GlitchCat and testing that searches work, and and that searchs 422 on one-character domain names or domain names ending not in :word:) raised no problems

(we really need to set up a test instance)

LGTM. Feel free to merge if you don’t want to bother with tests yet; maybe at least run rubocop though if you haven’t since we don’t have CI.

rubocop reports no (new) offenses; i’m gonna merge and then immediately file an issue to write tests, since we really ought to
