Description
IndieAuth now supports a bundled metadata discovery mechanism, and it would be a good idea for Authl to support that for server discovery as well.
indieauth.find_endpoints needs to check for the indieauth-metadata rel, and if it exists, consume the data from there (overriding the data discovered from the original resource).
The endpoints of interest to Authl and its primary consumers are:
authorization_endpoint(for IndieAuth's login flow)ticket_endpoint(for TicketAuth support, primarily in Publ)
Additionally, if there is now an issuer, that needs to be added to the token state and verified in IndieAuth.check_callback.

Research direction
Start with indieauth.find_endpoints and the IndieAuth.check_callback entry point, then read the linked IndieAuth metadata discovery specification. Done means metadata can override discovery for authorization_endpoint and ticket_endpoint, and any issuer is carried in token state and verified during the callback.
