Issue:
FeedReader: Switch from Rome to rssreader library
> RSS Reader is a simple Java library for reading RSS and Atom feeds. It has zero 3rd party dependencies, a low memory footprint and can process large feeds. 

https://github.com/w3stling/rssreader

Reasons:

- [x] Zero dependencies unlike ROME which has dependencies on JDOM etc
- [x] Up to date last commit 3 weeks ago vs Rome which seems inactive
- [x] This should be transparent to most users as Rome was used in the component and not exposed.
- [x] Has special handling for Apple Itune Podcast RSS feeds
- [x] Does not XML parse but manually parses the documents to prevent previous XML related security issues like https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-33813
