Add public blocks to /about/blocks (mastodon#11298)

* Add automatic blocklist display in /about/blocks

Inspired by https://github.com/Gargron/mastodon.social-misc

* Add admin option to set who can see instance blocks

* Normalize locales files

* Rename “Sandbox” to “Silence” for consistency

* Disable /about/blocks when in whitelist mode

* Optionally display rationale for domain blocks

* Only display domain blocks that have user-facing limitations, and order them

* Redesign table of blocked domains to better handle long domain names and rationales

* Change domain blocks ordering now that rationales aren't displayed right away

* Only show explanation for block severities actually in use

* Reword instance block explanations and add disclaimer for public fetch mode
