back off to lowest polling tier if no h-feed/h-entry's found #9

people occasionally subscribe to their bridgy user pages, eg https://brid.gy/twitter/schnarfed , in aperture. those pages do have mf2, but no h-feeds or h-entry's, so i expect nothing will show up in readers. it's also not really a use case i intend bridgy to support. watchtower still happily polls each user page every couple minutes though, since they do regularly change.

we tentatively decided in IRC today that watchtower could back off to the lowest polling tier if it consistent find no feeds or entries in a page. filing this just to track. thanks Aaron!

Friendly nudge! Watchtower is still polling some Bridgy user pages every 5m or so, eg https://brid.gy/twitter/HyroVitaly . Not a big deal, just FYI.
