Release 0.5.3: OPML orphan scan, feed error UI, small UI fixes

- Stop scanning an OPML/Patreon feed's derived rows once nobody subscribes
  to it; retire them (drop or orphan) the way sync_group already does when
  the list itself drops one. This is what let 922 defunct davewiner feeds
  keep scanning hourly after the OPML left config.
- Repair feed XML with a bare `&`, and give a plain reason (moved web page
  with its new address when linked, or nothing yet for an empty body)
  instead of a raw parser error.
- Show a failing feed's plain-English reason and next step (Unsubscribe /
  Use the new address) in the sidebar and on its own page, once it has
  been down a day.
- Fix four small UI bugs: show-note links open in a new tab, video files
  play as video, an opened item no longer disappears from the Unread tab,
  and Subscribe/Unsubscribe get their own icons.
- Fix Settings disappearing for non-admin accounts: it was hiding the
  whole modal instead of just the admin-only parts (Users, the editable
  schedule/quota, Save), which are the only parts the server actually
  refuses them.

### Added
- A feed that has been failing for a day shows a plain-English reason in the sidebar and on its
own page, sorted from a 404, a 401/403, a 402, a name that no longer resolves, or a web page in
place of the feed -- with Unsubscribe or, when the page links its new feed, Use the new address.
A feed that fails once and reads fine again within a day is never flagged.
### Changed
- Unsubscribing from the last person's OPML or Patreon subscription now retires the feeds it
listed, the same as a feed the list itself drops: removed if nothing was downloaded, kept and
marked orphaned otherwise. Until now they stayed in the database and kept being scanned hourly
with auto-download on, which is how 922 defunct `davewiner` feeds outlived the OPML that listed
them.
### Fixed
- A feed whose XML uses a bare `&` instead of `&amp;` (kcpw, both feedland feeds) is now read
instead of refused.
- A feed URL that now serves a web page says so, and names the feed the page links to when it has
one, instead of a raw XML parser error.
- A publisher answering with an empty body (British Antarctic Survey's 202) is read as nothing new
to report, not a parse failure.
- A link in an item's show notes opens in a new tab instead of navigating away from ipx.
- A video file plays as video, in a small floating pane above the player bar, instead of silently
as sound only.
- On the Unread tab, opening an item no longer makes it disappear from the list -- it stays until
you open a different one, even if a scan finishes and refreshes the list while it is open.
- Subscribe and Unsubscribe have their own icons (a circled check and a circled minus) instead of
sharing the generic plus and minus used for adding feeds, users and imports.
- Settings no longer disappears for a non-admin account. It was hiding the whole Settings modal
along with the log and the users screen, but a non-admin has settings of their own in there --
their subscriptions' Export and Import, and the schedule and quota are worth seeing even without
a say in them. Only the log and the users screen, which the server also refuses them, are gone.
