Custom domain support (hopefully)

Post to Bluesky
Post the content of the current draft to your Bluesky account
[Configuration]
Before you can use this action you need to configure your username and an app password (and domain if you use a custom domain).
To configure your username edit the action and change the template value for [[username]] from UNDEFINED to your username on Bluesky (e.g. flohgro.bsky.social) without the @ sign.
To configure the app password you need to change the template value for [[app_password]] from UNDEFINED to a password you can create as follows:
- open your Bluesky settings (on web or the iOS app)
- select Privacy and security
- select App passwords
- Tap Add App Password
- choose a name for the password (e.g. Drafts)
- Tap Next
- Copy the displayed password
- Tap Done
- Insert the created password into the configuration of the action as described above
If you use a custom domain you need to configure your domain by changing the template value for [[domain]] from bsky.social to your domain. Please note: This is NOT required if you just changed your user handle to your own domain name. In this case you need to use that domain as username (e.g. flohgro.com) and keep the domain as it is.
[Usage]
After configuring it properly you can post the content of the current draft with this action. The action will not check for invalid length of the post so if something fails, you can check the action log for the error message (e.g. if your text was too long).
