This is better at avoiding repeats than just keeping the last fetch, since some feeds
shuffle items around (like google news search).

When the feed has a specified encoding, we'll be dealing with unicode objects
in the response from feedparser.parse(). To avoid possible UnicodeErrors, we
need to encode() before handing the string off to other functions, so the
other functions are always dealing with bytestrings instead of bytestrings and
unicode objects. Mixing unicode and bytestrings will cause implicit
conversions of the unicode objects, which will most likely use the wrong
encoding.

First: if an rss feed is called without the number of headlines argument,
we now have a default number of items it will output.
before, it tried to stuff the whole rss feed into the channel, which is quite
floody, if more than one 'mores' is set, or if oneToOne is false.
Second: when adding a new feed to announce, it again, tried to stuff the
whole rss feed into the channel, which ran into the same floody conditions
as above. now we have a default number of feeds to output when there's no
cached history.
Because the 'channel' argument was declared optional, calling announce.list
off-channel without a channel argument caused an error.

Plugins which implement their own listCommands method should pass their
non-typically discoverable commands to Commands.listCommands via this
mechanism. This means that the de-duplication of commands is performed in one
spot instead of having each plugin implement it on their on in their
listCommands method.

Also added some ImportError handlers to aid letting users of distribution
packages know if the distributions strip out the local module copies.

This simplifies the interface for dealing with announced feeds by providing
separate "announce add", "announce remove", "announce list" commands as
opposed to the one "announce" command with confusing syntax.
