NodeBB <> Lemmy federation issue (re: nullable image/icon)

@nutomic@lemmy.ml reported a federation issue with a NodeBB instance and we debugged it. It turns out Lemmy is unable to handle actors who have image or icon set to null.

Lemmy is taking steps to handle this (source, source), and NodeBB will update its actor logic to omit properties without an avatar or cover photo set.

NodeBB v4.6.1 contains the fix so that if an avatar and cover photo are not set, they are not included in the ActivityPub actor data.

@julian @nutomic null values are bad in JSON-LD. We really have to avoid them. There are some bad references to `null` in the AP spec; they're likely to get removed sometime soon.
