Convert   HTML escape code in feed descriptions/titles #18

I've found a number of sites use HTML escape codes, particularly   in their feed item descriptions. Currently these get converted verbatim into plaintext and displayed in the feed description tooltip or title.

I am not keen on implementing conversion for lots of HTML escape codes, but certainly common ones like   should be addressed by the feedreader's html2text/html2pango functions
