[FR]: WebEngine feed retrieval #555

Description

Brief description of the feature request

Use Case 1: A site has no RSS and needs to be parsed with a postprocessing script, but JavaScript needs to run on the retrieved page first.

Use Case 2: I've had this issue where a site is getting DDOSed and they put everything - including the feed URL - behind Cloudflare protection.

This could take the form of a non-default boolean within an individual feed (a [WebEngine build required, feed will be retrieved normally] required message would appear underneath it if this is enabled on a nowebengine build, but it would still let you toggle the setting), as well as a context menu option that only appears when the last feed retrieval encountered.

Additionally, there could be a global option that, when enabled, will always attempt WebEngine-based retrieval if a 503 error was encountered (displaying the same error message on nowebengine builds that I mentioned prior).
