Hookshot Configuration: Auto fill RSS label if left empty on creation #354

When you subscribe to an RSS or Atom feed, if you leave the label field empty the bot should automatically pull the title from the RSS feed and save that as the label in the state event.

Otherwise, you'll just end up with a lot of undescriptive URLs if you have a room with a lot of feeds making it impossible to manage.

Alternatively, upon entering the URL, fetch the label and preview it in the Label input field, where it can then be edited before hitting Subscribe.

I have a subscription with a state event like this:

  "content": {
    "url": "https://matrix.org/blog/feed"
  }

It shows like this image So obviously some title fetching (<title><![CDATA[matrix.org]]></title>) is happening nevertheless, unless this is some kind of coincidence.
