Add ForceMentionsInContentPolicy

Even though latest PleromaFE supports displaying these properly, mobile
apps still exist, so I think we should offer a workaround to those who
want it.

@@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 ### Added
 - `activeMonth` and `activeHalfyear` fields in NodeInfo usage.users object
 - Experimental support for Finch. Put `config :tesla, :adapter, {Tesla.Adapter.Finch, name: MyFinch}` in your secrets file to use it. Reverse Proxy will still use Hackney.
+- `ForceMentionsInPostContent` MRF policy
 - AdminAPI: allow moderators to manage reports, users, invites, and custom emojis
 - AdminAPI: restrict moderators to access sensitive data: change user credentials, get password reset token, read private statuses and chats, etc
 - PleromaAPI: Add remote follow API endpoint at `POST /api/v1/pleroma/remote_interaction`

     * `Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.ForceBotUnlistedPolicy`: Makes all bot posts to disappear from public timelines.
     * `Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.FollowBotPolicy`: Automatically follows newly discovered users from the specified bot account. Local accounts, locked accounts, and users with "#nobot" in their bio are respected and excluded from being followed.
     * `Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.KeywordPolicy`: Rejects or removes from the federated timeline or replaces keywords. (See [`:mrf_keyword`](#mrf_keyword)).
+    * `Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.ForceMentionsInContent`: Forces every mentioned user to be reflected in the post content.
 * `transparency`: Make the content of your Message Rewrite Facility settings public (via nodeinfo).
 * `transparency_exclusions`: Exclude specific instance names from MRF transparency.  The use of the exclusions feature will be disclosed in nodeinfo as a boolean value.
