[ModifyBridge] New bridge to modify feeds

[Mynacol]

Create a generic bridge that can modify the common fields of feeds with regular expressions.

@dvikan I found no other bridge to do something like that. Please look over it and merge if it fits.

I'm still not happy and finished with the enclosures elements. I wanted to modify a podcast feed, or rather its enclosure links. One of my podcast clients seems to only try the <enclosure> tag and not the <media:content> tag.

Ideally, we'd just modify the Mrss format to include an enclosure tag if there are elements in the enclosures array.

Edit: The respective feed is here

regarding podcast/media/itunes feeds we do indeed have a problem in which our feed parser does not capture all relevant properties.

in addition, rss-bridge does not generate arbitrary feeds but generates feeds with a mostly hardcoded list of properties (see MrssFormat and AtomFormat).

i can see the value in this bridge. but i think it's going to be rarely used.
