Post list, edit, delete/undo, drafts and replies

Uses StarPunk 2.4.0's Micropub update, delete/undelete, post-status and
q=source listing. Login asks for update and delete scopes.

 ## How it works
 
 - **Discovery**: reads `rel="micropub"` and `rel="indieauth-metadata"` from your site's `Link` headers and HTML. If there's no metadata link, it falls back to `authorization_endpoint` / `token_endpoint`.
-- **Login**: authorization code flow with PKCE (S256). tuipub runs a one-shot callback server on `127.0.0.1:<random port>` and uses `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/` as its `client_id`. The client ID and redirect URI share an origin, so the server needs no client registration. It checks `state` and `iss`. Scopes requested: `create media`.
+- **Login**: authorization code flow with PKCE (S256). tuipub runs a one-shot callback server on `127.0.0.1:<random port>` and uses `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/` as its `client_id`. The client ID and redirect URI share an origin, so the server needs no client registration. It checks `state` and `iss`. Scopes requested: `create update delete media`. Tokens from older tuipub versions only had `create media`; run `tuipub login` again to edit and delete.
 - **Token storage**: the system keyring (Secret Service / gnome-keyring), keyed by your profile URL. Account settings go in `~/.config/tuipub/config.toml`.
+- **Posts list**: `q=source` without `url` (`limit`/`offset`, drafts included). Edits are Micropub `update` with `replace`/`delete`; deletes are `delete`/`undelete`; drafts are `post-status: draft`.
 - **Posting**: always sends a JSON body. `mp-syndicate-to` lists exactly the checked targets, and an empty list means "crosspost nowhere". If the target list can't be loaded, `mp-syndicate-to` is left out and the server's default applies (the confirm dialog says so).

 ## StarPunk notes
 
 - StarPunk 2.3.3+ stores the Title as the note's `# Heading` first line. Older versions ignore it, so on those, start the note with `# Heading` instead.
-- Editing, deleting and listing posts aren't supported yet, because StarPunk's Micropub endpoint doesn't implement `update`, `delete` or `q=source` listing.
+- Listing, editing, deleting, drafts and replies need StarPunk 2.4.0+. tuipub hides the post list when a server says it can't list posts (`q` in `q=config`).
