Error reporting currently takes place for each error. This can result
in many error messages if a server has connectivity issues (i.e. when
it re-connects to the internet every 24 hours).
This commit adds a new option to the configuration file to define the
number of error reports to suppress before returning an error message
to the user.
Error reports are cached and therefore automatically purged after 24
hours. A successful bridge request does **not** clear the error count
as sporadic issues can be the result of actual problems on the server.
The implementation currently makes no assumption on the type of error,
which means it also suppresses bridge errors in debug mode. The default
value is, however, set to 1 which means all errors are reported.

Bridge errors are currently included as part of the feed to
notify users about erroneous bridges (before that, bridges
silently failed).
This solution, however, can produce a high load of error
messages if servers are down (see #994 for more details).
Admins may also not want to include error messages in feeds
in order to keep those kind of problems away from users or
simply to silently fail by choice.
This commit adds a new configuration section "error" with
one option "output" which can be set to following values:
"feed": To include error messages in the feed (default)
"http": To return a HTTP header for each error
"none": To disable error reporting
Note that errors are always logged to 'error.log' independent
of the settings above.
Closes#1066
RSS-Bridge currently statically sets the timezone to UTC which can
result in incorrect timestamps if the server is hosted in another
region.
This commit adds a new configuration parameter to allow admins to
specify their own timezone for their servers. Invalid values will
result in an error message.
Example:
[system]
timezone = "UTC"
For compatibility reasons the default value is set to UTC.
This parameter accepts any of the supported timezones listed at
https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.phpCloses#956

- For consistency, functions should always return null on non-existing data.
- WordPressPluginUpdateBridge appears to have used its own cache instance in the past. Obviously not used anymore.
- Since $key can be anything, the cache implementation must ensure to assign the related data reliably; most commonly by serializing and hashing the key in an appropriate way.
- Even though the default path for storage is perfectly fine, some people may want to use a different location. This is an example how a cache implementation is responsible for its requirements.
This commit adds support for a new parameter which specifies the type
of cache to use for caching. It is specified in config.ini.php:
[cache]
type = "..."
Currently only one type of cache is supported (see /caches). All uses
of 'FileCache' were replaced by this configuration option.
Note: Caching currently depends on files and folders (due to FileCache).
Experience may vary depending on the selected cache type. For now always
check if FileCache is working before testing alternative types.

Uses the parse_ini_file function to load default settings from the default configuration file 'config.default.ini.php'. Optionally loads custom settings from 'config.ini.php' to replace the default
values.
