[chore/security] refactor AuthenticateFederatedRequest() to handle account deref + suspension checks (#2371)

* refactor AuthenticateFederatedRequest() to handle account suspension + fetching of owner

* small fixups

* small changes

* revert to 'IsEitherBlocked' instead of just 'IsBlocked" :grimace:

* update code comment to indicate that AuthenticateFederatedRequest() will handle account + instance dereferencing
