Bug 7843 Create an RSS feed for news in Opac

This patch introduces two new files: opac-news-rss.pl and opac-news-rss.tt.
The files create an RSS feed for news in the opac between them, and to access
the feed you go to opac-news-rss.pl in the opac.
I intentionally waited with creating a RSS icon on opac-main.pl since I think
we might want to discuss a few issues before exposing the feeds publicly even
if the patch is pushed.

Issues I know would be good to discuss is:
* The news items have no individual links since there is no graphical view of
individual news items in the way that a blog would have. Is this a problem for
RSS-readers?
* Should we add additional metadata like author, administrator, publishing
dates etc?
* Currently the feed will display news for all libraries + your home branch if
you access it while logged in. Would only "all libraries" be better? Or maybe
all libraries + every item for individual branches?

Test plan:
* Install patch a
* Make shure there is news in the Opac.
* Go to the page opac-news-rss.pl in your Opac.
* Verify that an RSS feed shows up with the same news as in opac-main.pl
* Validate the RSS-feed.
