Reddit Gallery RSS

This closes #6. Previously, imgur galleries were supported, but native Reddit galleries were not.

I've left plenty of comments to show why decisions were made. I also built a Docker image locally to test this with Miniflux and it looks good to me.

@JosephDeFazio Thanks so much! Apologies, I've been MIA on this project due to life stuff.

Today I finally got fed up with Reddit galleries not appearing in my feeds, so I decided to rectify that. I did a lot of exploration and then made a branch for this functionality. I was just about to push when I went into the repo and saw your PR 🤦‍♂️. Fantastic work… I'm just wishing I would have seen it sooner.

Going over your code and your super helpful comments, I noticed some similarities and some discrepancies between my branch feature/redditGalleries and yours:

• We both settled on ["media_metadata"]["p"]["3"]["u"] for similar reasons, and we're linking to those images in the $itemDescription.
• I did notice that galleries don't appear in the JSON for items that have been crossposted. To get around this, I did another JSON loop/cache cycle within the switch case to get the JSON for the item's original post so that I could grab the ["media_metadata"] from there and parse it out.
• Another difference is that I'm linking to the full-size image but only embedding the smaller ["p"]["3"]["u"] option to make it easier on bandwidth until a user chooses to open the full-size image.

Would you mind taking a look at my branch and letting me know your thoughts? Thanks!
