[chore] various federatingdb tweaks (#4178)

after seeing a potential reported federating worker lockup i decided to start digging into the federatingdb code. this PR encompasses:
- removes one of our last unused interface types `federatingdb.DB{}`, replacing it with a struct type `*federatingdb.DB{}`
- in `transport.dereferenceLocal()` differentiates between an unsupported lookup type and ErrNoEntries to reduce unnecessary calls, and reduce potential lockups that may occur while trying to call our own endpoints that then call `federatingdb.Lock()`
- removes a bunch of the locks on follow state changes since the DB already synchronizes that
- removes the unnecessary `pub.Clock{}` struct field and type passed to the transport controller

frankly it would be great if we could remove the locking in `federatingdb.Lock()` and instead handle it ourselves as it gets very confusing trying to figure out what functions will have locks held. but i guess that's one for when we move further away from the go-fed/activity/pub package usage.
