New config for feeds directory
The directory for where feeds will be generated is now specified by the
contents of a `./_feeds` config file. This makes configuration free from
variables and syntax, and more filetree-based.

pdssg can make Atom feeds from directories, with the directory's files as feed
-entries. To do this, make an "Atom seed file" as such:
+entries. To do this, you need to make a specified directory for your feeds, and
+make an "Atom seed file" as such:
-1. Note the path of the directory.
-2. Prepend `./feeds/` to the path.
-3. Append the `.md` file extension to the path.
-4. Create a Markdown file with the path.
-5. Write a YAML frontmatter to the file.
+1. Create a feeds directory (e.g. `./feeds/`) and write it's path in the config
+ file `_feeds`
+2. Note the path of a directory you want to make a feed (e.g. `./posts/`).
+3. Prepend your feeds directory path to it (e.g. `./feeds/posts/`).
+4. Append the `.md` file extension to the path (e.g. `./feeds/posts.md`).
+5. Create a Markdown file with this path. This is the Atom seed file.
+6. Write a YAML frontmatter to the file.
Refer to the **example site** above for demonstration (the `posts/` directory).
The Atom seed file will be converted to an Atom feed file. This resulting feed
-will exist at the new path but with an `.xml` extension. In this example, the
-atom feed will appear at `example.com/feeds/posts.xml`. Note, the `post.md` file
-is not necessary for a feed, only a directory.

**NOTE:** Atom entries are ordered alphanumerically by their corresponding
filenames, not by their `date` specified by their YAML frontmatter.
