Incorrect configuration values are currently handled individually
for each condition, resulting in a lot of repetitive operations.
This commit adds two new private functions to report errors to the
user and end execution of the script.
The configuration files are currently hard-coded in the configuration
classes and error messages. However, the implementation should not
rely on specific details like the file name. Instead, the files should
be part of the global definition.
This commit introduces two global constants for the configuration files
- FILE_CONFIG => 'config.ini.php'
- FILE_CONFIG_DEFAULT => 'config.default.ini.php'
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

Default bridges are currently statically defined in index.php, which
is not the right place if we want to keep responsibilities separated.
This commit introduces a new file whitelist.default.txt that holds
the default bridges and which is loaded automatically, if whitelist.txt
doesn't exist.
Due to this it is also no longer necessary to have write permission
for the root directory.

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.

Move CACHE_DIR from index.php to /lib/RssBridge.php and change name
to PATH_CACHE.
PATH_CACHE is one of the core paths of RSS-Bridge and should therefore
be defined in the core file RssBridge.php.
* Move configuration in its own class in order to reduce the verbosity of index.php
* Add authentication mechanism using HTTP auth
* Add a method to get the config parameters
* Remove the installation checks from the index page
* Log all failed authentication attempts
