new entries are inserted to the front of the __feed_entries list #55

I experienced some trouble with feed readers which expect the most recent entry be always at the beginning of the feed XML. Although it is not part of the RFC4287 it appears that it is a common consensus to start with the newest entry.

Background: A recurring process inspects my data and generates change notifications via an atom feed. The FeedGenerator is pickled and stored to disk to avoid regeneration of the whole feed on each cycle.

This should not break anything → I'm fine with merging this.

It does break some things for us. At least make it possible to choose whether it is inserted first or appended.
