Subject: [PATCH] rss-bot: Allow overriding the topic default.

rss-bot selects the topic of its RSS notification messages based on the
topic of the RSS feed. Monitoring a large number of RSS feeds therefore
leads to a large number of topics in the stream. Also, the user has no
option to customize the topic names.

This patch adds a new `--topic` argument that replaces the topic for
all RSS feed notifications with the provided string. If no custom topic
is provided, the bot uses the default behaviour described above.
