First steps on converting FeedSub into the pub/sub basis for OStatus communications:

* renamed FeedSub plugin to OStatus
* now setting avatar on subscriptions
* general fixes for subscription
* integrated PuSH hub to handle only user timelines on canonical ID url; sends updates directly
* set $config['feedsub']['nohub'] = true to test w/ foreign feeds that don't have hubs (won't actually receive updates though)
* a few bits of code documentation
* HMAC support for verified distributions (safest if sub setup is on HTTPS)

And a couple core changes:
* minimizing HTML output for exceptions in API requests to aid in debugging
* fix for rel=self link in apitimelineuser when id given

This does not not yet include any of the individual subscription management (Salmon notifications for sub/unsub, etc) nor a nice UI for user subscriptions.
Needs some further cleanup to treat posts as status updates instead of link references.

-Plugin to support importing updates from external RSS and Atom feeds into your timeline.
-
-Uses PubSubHubbub for push feed updates; currently non-PuSH feeds cannot be subscribed.
-
-Todo:
-* set feed icon avatar for actual profiles as well as for preview
-* use channel image and/or favicon for avatar?
-* garbage-collect subscriptions that are no longer being used
-* administrative way to kill feeds?
-* functional l10n
-* clean up subscription form look and workflow
-* use ajax for test/preview in subscription form
-* rssCloud support? (Does anything use it that doesn't support PuSH as well?)
-* possibly a polling daemon to support non-PuSH feeds?
-* likely problems with multiple feeds from the same site, such as category feeds on a blog
-  (currently each feed would publish a separate notice on a separate profile, but pointing to the same post URI.)
-  (could use the local URI I guess, but that's so icky!)
-* problems with Atom feeds that list <link rel="alternate" href="..."/> but don't have the type
-  (such as http://atomgen.appspot.com/feed/5 demo feed); currently it's not recognized and we end up with the feed's master URI
-* make it easier to see what you're subscribed to and unsub from things
-* saner treatment of fullname/nickname?
-* make use of tags/categories from feeds
-* update feed profile data when it changes
-* XML_Feed_Parser has major problems with category and link tags; consider replacing?
