🛜 Implement Solution For Storing Post & Comment Author's IP Address in Respective Tables

[robin-macpherson]

Description

For security and moderation purposes, we are going to start storing the IP address of the author of posts and comments.
This will allow us to identify particular users who engage in behavior that harms other users and potentially create multiple accounts.
This will also allow us to implement IP Blocking, should those users need to be banned from the platform.

Subtasks

• I have added this PR to the Journaly Kanban project ✅
• Implement new getPostingIpAddress function
• Add new postingIpAddress field to Post, Comment, and PostComment tables
• Implement resolver code
• Test!

Deployment Checklist

• 🚨 Publish new j-db-client version and update in both web and j-mail
• 🚨 Deploy migs to stage
• 🚨 Deploy code to stage
• 🚨 DEPLOY j-mail to stage
• 🚨 Deploy migs to prod
• 🚨 Deploy code to prod
• 🚨 DEPLOY j-mail TO PROD

Migrations

• Does the migration need to be applied before or after deploying code? Before
• Is applying the migration going to necessitate downtime? Negative
• Is there any SQL or backfill logic that has to be run manually? Negativo
• Are the DB changes high risk in your estimation? Should a manual DB snapshot be taken before applying? These should be low risk. It's a new, nullable field.

Screenshots

The following screenshot shows one new comment record that has a special IP address stored (I believe this is due to it being local)
