When a user is following several accounts, they may get a stale feed
caused by the subscription request being rejected by relays (due to max filter item limits).
This commit implements a fix that gets around the issue by
creating several chunked filters for the home feed event and contact
metadata subscriptions.
This is a short to medium-term practical fix, where we get around the
practical limitations imposed by most relays. In the future we should
work on longer-term solutions, which will likely require protocol improvements

Other testing:
--------------
- New automated test passing
- All other automated tests passing
- Tested scrolling down the feed on these conditions:
- Device: iPhone 13 Mini

- Accounts:
- One with about 160 contacts and 10 relays (Daniel D’Aquino)
- One with about 1K+ contacts and 9 relays (Freedom Smuggler)
