Description
@swentel mentioned in this thread (https://github.com/indieweb/microsub/issues/24#issuecomment-500720436) that he would fine it useful to get "all unread posts" across channels for his start page.
I noted in that same thread that would fit in under the "global" uid, to match other features such as muting across all channels. What he described as needing sounds a lot like using the `is_read=false` parameter merged with passing `global` as the uid in the timeline fetch. I'm not sure how difficult this is from a server perspective as I have only worked on clients currently.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked discussion in issue 24, especially the referenced comment, and review the existing timeline-fetch semantics for the `global` uid and `is_read=false`. Define the expected behavior for unread posts across all channels and document the resulting API change; completion requires an agreed specification because no implementation entry point or test is identified.
