Jetpack Social / Publicize: add support for Threads

Impacted plugin

Social

What

We got a request coming in on the WordPress.com forum for auto-sharing posts to Threads.

How

~~I understand that there isn't an API yet for us to use, but I'm opening an issue to track user requests.~~

The API is now available here:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/

Currently there isn't a public API to post to Threads. We've asked about it, and if/when they add ActivityPub support, we'll be able to add support for posting to it.

It looks like the API is now open, so we may be able to progress on this:

We're launching this with the new version of Jetpack.

This has just been released. Support is available in Jetpack 13.6 and Jetpack Social 4.5.2
