Make a researcher on another instance identifiable and invitable as a project editor.

Use the existing ActivityPub actor identity (/ap/actors/:apActorId) as the remote user's canonical cross-instance identity
New invite flow that resolves AP actor URLs instead of local usernames
Add project_collaborators.remote_actor_url (nullable, UNIQUE when not null); set instead of collaborator_user_id for remote editors
Admin adds the remote instance to the existing federated_instances list as a prerequisite

Imported from ROADMAP.md.
