Link: Disambiguating various interpretations of a "quote" feature [pre-FEP]

I think there should be a separate FEP describing the recommended FEP-e232-based representation of a quote. FEP-e232 only provides a generic framework for building object links, and IMO shouldn’t be concerned with specific use cases (maybe a quote example should be replaced with something else?).

As far as I can tell, there are two possible ways to do quote:

  • type: Link with rel: https://misskey-hub.net/ns#_misskey_quote
  • type: Quote without rel.

Per FEP-e232, both are allowed. The second one is simpler because implementer only needs to check for type property. However, the Quote type should be defined somewhere and we still don’t have a way to do that for FEPs (FEP-888d?).
