Feed auto-discovery #62

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Most RSS readers out there support RSS auto-discovery, which allows the user to enter the URL of a site to follow, and the app automatically figures out its RSS feed from the website's HTML. Fluent Reader doesn't, and entering a website URL gives an XML parsing error.

Describe the solution you'd like When a website URL is entered, Fluent Reader should find the HTML link tag linking to its RSS feed and subscribe to that feed.

Again a very useful feature.

This would make managing RSS feed with Fluent Reader so much easier.

I was surprised this wasn't a default function. Please consider adding it because it would be super nice time saver.
