Add support for RSS 2.0 #5

Open jaredcwhite opened 2 years ago

The reason this plugin uses Atom is for historical reasons (it started as a fork of the jekyll-feed plugin). I don't have a particular dog in the now-ancient Atom vs. RSS fight, but I do like the idea of supporting RSS 2.0. It's really not much different from the outside looking in. Honestly I'd just love to refactor the whole thing and use a declarative component-based rendering pipeline where the exact XML tag output can easily change depending on the renderer.

Update: I looked into this some more, and using Ruby's RSS gem we get a nice declarative builder DSL: https://github.com/ruby/rss

So no more Liquid file required. My plan at this point is to switch entirely to RSS 2.0 in order to support #8 and also just simplify the code.
