    Retrieve the verification status of the specified webmention.

    A webmention is accepted synchronously by the target site (me, in this
    case) and then must be verified asynchronously - this means contacting the
    source URL and confirming that it really does link to the target URL it
    claimed to. Until this verification is complete, we can't assume the
    mention is real and shouldn't display it anywhere.

    Therefore, when a webmention is accepted, we return a Location header
    pointing to this endpoint. The source site may, if desired, use this
    endpoint to check whether their webmention has been verified or not.

    The status is currently returned as a plain string, e.g., 'pending'.
    However, eventually this will use a nice template instead, possibly
    displaying additional information about the mention. There's no
    standardised format for the status response, and most implementations
    currently use a friendly human-readable format, so I'll be doing the same.
