Added support for Discourse as a replacement for Google Groups.

[igray]

See this post and this post. The elm-discuss google group is moving to Discourse.

Unfortunately, there is a configuration problem on the discourse server that prevents API access, but I'm trying to see if that can be resolved. I'll update this when I hear back about it.

Hey @igray, thank you for taking the initiative of adding this! I was planning on looking into it this weekend, but you beat me to it! Keep me updated about the API access problem. An alternative might be to use feednami like this post suggests if the problem can't be solved. This would require using ports similar to how news from google groups is fetched.

Yes, unfortunately, it's either that or use a proxy server (which the post also suggests). That would mean something outside of github pages.

I was briefly looking into either either installing this on a free-tier heroku or modifying it to run on AWS lambda, which is free for the first 1 million requests per month. I don't know what your traffic is, but if it's not much, you could use the cors-anywhere demo app without installing anything.

Anyway, using feednami also means that the decoder in this pull request won't work, but I'd be happy to write a new one.

But also-- forgot to mention: Thank you for maintaining this project/website. I use it all the time!

@igray I am glad to hear you use it all the time! I think I would rather not have to manager a server or AWS lambda just for getting around the cors issue. Could you take a look at using feednami similar to how the google groups news is fetched?

[igray]

Sure! I'll update this pull request when it's ready.

@oakesja It's updated

@igray thanks again for adding this feature!
