* [chore] Simplify the User-Agent string
RFC 9110[1] includes a definition for the format of a user-agent header:
User-Agent = product *( RWS ( product / comment ) )
product = token ["/" product-version]
product-version = token
comment = "(" *( ctext / quoted-pair / comment ) ")"
ctext = HTAB / SP / %x21-27 / %x2A-5B / %x5D-7E / obs-text
An example given in the RFC: User-Agent: CERN-LineMode/2.15 libwww/2.17b3
The idea is typically start with the most important product/version, add
a (comment) if necessary and then include any auxilliary products.
However, the RFC warns against including too many auxiliary products as
those can be unnecessarily revealing.
For automated systems (i.e not a browser), the common and recommended
format is <product></version> (+uri-for-contact), followed with any
additional <product>/<version> pairs that are relevant.
This changes our UA to match that convention more closely. This makes it
easier for administrators who do user-agent parsing for statistics or
other purposes to correctly identify the version of GoToSocial.
Currently tools tend to get confused by the lack of a /<version> on the
start of our string.

* [chore] Don't use app name in UA
From all the GtS UAs I've collected, nobody seems to set/change this,
so we might as well use the static string.
The main usefulness for this is when you have multilpe GtS instances
connecting to the same DB, so they can identify as different instances
by changing the application name (though it should already be obvious
from having different usernames).
