Fixes #10950

As of 6a5307a, we accept boosts of inlined toots provided that they can be attributed to the actor boosting it. However, we assume that if no attributedTo field is present, then the object is to be attributed to the actor boosting it.

I guess that assumption might not be correct, although cases where that assumption would not be correct are cases where we cannot attribute the toot at all.

Note that I'm not 100% sure it is what caused the mentioned issue, as the example mentioned in the issue should not cause that. But it's the only code path I can see that uses the boosters' account when processing the boosted toot.
