Subject: [PATCH] [mastodon] try to get account IDs without access token

Try to query the public '/api/v1/accounts/lookup' endpoint
and fall back to '/v1/accounts/search' if it returns an error.

'/api/v1/accounts/lookup' is available since Mastodon v3.4.0.
The version of an instance can be found at '/api/v1/instance'.
