Use "Atom" rather than "RSS" to refer to the Atom feed [Enhancement] #3829

Currently, the Atom₂ feed provided at /feed/ is referred to as RSS₁.

RSS₁ and Atom₂ are incompatible, and while it is true that most feed readers support both Atom₂ and RSS₁, certain feed readers only support RSS₁ (prominent example at the time of writing is conky), causing a lot of confusion when one tries to use the labelled-as-RSS₁ Atom feed with an RSS₁-only reader.

My RSS reader does not use Atom feeds either. I'd love for Invidious to provide RSS.
