fix(sync): refresh a channel's details once they are a week old

Channel metadata (banner, avatar, description, counts) was fetched only the first time a
channel was seen: the subscription import asked only for channels with no details, and the
channel page only for ones missing a join date. 394 of 397 subscribed channels had July
metadata. Both now also refresh details older than DETAILS_MAX_AGE (7 days), through one
shared staleness rule; channels.list costs 1 unit per 50 channels.
