bskyr: Interact with 'Bluesky' Social

Collect data from and make posts on 'Bluesky' Social via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Application Programming Interface (API), as documented at <https://atproto.com/specs/xrpc>. This further supports broader queries to the Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol <https://atproto.com/> which 'Bluesky' Social relies on. Data is returned in a tidy format and posts can be made using a simple interface.
