Subject: [PATCH] Add fediverse client identification to posts and timeline
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add application field to Post model to capture client metadata from API
- Display client info in timeline view after timestamp (e.g. "5 minutes ago via Bifrost")
- Show client information in post details dialog metadata section
- Gracefully handle missing client data by silently omitting when unavailable
- Handle common generic client names (Web, Mobile) with cleaner formatting
- Support client identification for both original posts and reblogs
