Title: WordPress 3.5 compatibility fixes

The plugin broke when I upgraded to WordPress 3.5 with errors in the logs like:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_item_quantity() in ... wp-content/plugins/statusnet-widget/statusnet-widget.php on line 140

Turns out the $feed object wasn't getting created correctly and was failing the check in place. One of the commits should resolve this.

Upon further investigation, SimplePie didn't seem to like my setup because I had entered https://micro.systemsaviour.com/ in the Sources List field of the widget (note the trailing slash). This in turn caused the plugin to rewrite this as https://micro.systemsaviour.com//rss which the new SimplePie version(?) seemed to reject.

My second commit should detect this condition and strip the trailing slash from the URL before appending the /rss to the end.

Cheers,
Adam
