lists: cap login list subscriptions to the §17 read set (≤8)

The cold-login REQ storm came from list subsystems subscribing/fetching across
the user's full NIP-65 relay set (often ~20) instead of the documented §17 read
cap. The fetchListIncrementally paths already route through capReadRelays, but
the live subscriptions and direct pool.list calls bypassed it:

- userBlocks.ensureBlockListSubscription: cap the live block-list subscription
- subscriptions.ensureSubscriptionListSubscription: cap the live follows-list
  subscription
- hashtagPreferencesService: cap the relay set used by pool.list + fetch

capReadRelays keeps the user's own relays first and guarantees the reserved
defaults, bounded to MAX_SUBSCRIBE_RELAYS (8). Trade-off accepted: a list event
living only on a user's 9th+ relay may sync on a later pass rather than at login.

Regression: tests/user-blocks-relay-cap.test.mjs.
