[bugfix] concurrent map writes in dereferencer media processing maps (#2964)

* removes the avatar / header deref maps as we now have per-uri status / account locks, adds retries on data-races, adds separate emoji map mutex

* work with a copy of account / status for each retry loop

* revert to old data race behaviour, it gets too complicated otherwise
