1cb83ccea3 [IPBBridge] Use limit for the number of items
The limit was used to specify the number of pages to return from a given
topic which resulted in the number of returned items variing between one
and however many entries are listed on one page.

This commit changes the implementation for the limit to keep loading more
pages until the specified limit is reached. Excessive elements are removed
in order to return the exact amount of items specified by the limit.

This behavior is closer to how other bridges are implemented and makes it
more natural to use without being too confusing. Existing queries must be
updated to account for the new limit.

[IPBBridge] Add bridge (#564)
This bridge returns feeds for any URI that is compatible with the
IPB implementation (currently 4.x). Older versions might work, but
there is no guarantee.

Only forum and topic URIs are supported!

The bridge automatically checks if natural feeds are available (by
adding '.xml' to the URI). If so the feed is returned. Otherwise
the bridge will attempt to identify the content type and build a
feed accordingly.

Valid URIs are forums and topics. For forums the first page is
returned, for topics the last one. Elements are ordered such that
the latest entry is returned first (oldest-to-newest)

The optional parameter '&limit=' specifies how many pages should
be loaded (default: 1). Topics are loaded in reverse order.
=> Does not work with forums!

Images are provided as enclosures and scaled to a max-size of
400x400 pixels by default (Except for natural feeds).

The content is filtered before being returned:
- Unnecessary tags are removed (iframes, etc...)
- Styles for blockquotes are restored (grey background)

Closes #507
