new package: sfeed -- a scriptable feed aggregator
*tldr*: a shell-script/crontab oriented feed aggregator, parser, and reader

(actively maintained software written in small footpoint C and POSIX shell, project listed on suckless.org/rocks)

------

`sfeed(1)` is a RSS/Atom feed parsing utility written in C
that aimed to be used in a scriptable feed aggregating pipeline
(or newsreading workflow, for a more generally speaking) on UNIX.

`sfeed_update(1)` is the POSIX shell script aimed to be
placed in crontab for periodical updating of feeds,
as the "aggregator".

**NOTE:** Crontab entries is not defined in `build.sh`.
On Termux things in crontab usually read/write to `$PREFIX/var`,
I'd leave this simple task to users for more flexibility
(i.e. I may want to write to homedir or even adaptive storage
instead, with different params.)

(See README and `sfeed_update(1)` source code to get a feel of overall workflow.)

Once the feeds are updated, it will be totally up to user that
how the entires should be handled, for examples:

 - send/sync feed entries to a mailbox using `sendmail(1)`/`isync(1)`, then read entries in Gmail App.
 - read gathered feed entries via TUI using `sfeed_curses(1)`
 - `sfeed_html(1)`, then using something like miniserve to read entries in Web browser.
