Watch person

Start an account watch on one person, the Watch pill on their People row. This is a recurring cost: the watch is polled at the project's pace and every post it brings back is charged at that platform's blip rate, up to 5 posts a day on X unless posts_per_day says otherwise. Nothing is read or charged by this call itself.
