feedcache 1.3: purging and redirects

Release 1.3 of feedcache is available. This version supports purging the cache by the age of the contents.

After some discussion with Thomas Perl about how to handle redirects, I decided to leave the existing behavior alone. That means redirected feeds are returned, but not stored in the cache. It's up to the caller to recognize that a feed was redirected and update the list of URLs being checked, depending on the actual response code.
