This is a straightforward port of the previous pretty-feed-v3.xsl to Javascript. This removes the need for XSL, which is due to be removed from most major browsers in the next year or so, while maintaining the functionality of showing a styled feed to users who might not be familiar with what feeds are and who would be understandably put out by a website spaffing a load of raw XML at them.
Rather than linking feed owners to the XSL version of Pretty Feed, which is due to stop working at some point soon as browsers drop XSL support, link to the Javascript version instead.

Chrome has announced that it's gradually removing XSL support from the browser over the next year; Firefox and Webkit are doing likewise.
With that in mind, and getting ahead of the deprecation, this pull request ports the existing XSL implementation of Pretty Feed to Javascript, with a technique outlined here by Jake Archibald.
It's functionally and stylistically identical to the XSL, just in JS.
