Use RSS feed for Ubuntu USN parsing if possible #205

Due to changes in the underlying HTML formatting in the Ubuntu USN homepage, the "current" branch of vFense fails to parse the Ubuntu USNs properly. I noticed that this has been fixed in the "pre-0.8.1-dev" branch, however.

IMO, it would be better to use the RSS feed provided by Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/rss.xml instead if possible, so that if they make any format changes in the underlying HTML, it isn't as likely to break parsing of Ubuntu USNs.

I'm in the process of rewriting the parser to no longer use the USN website and use the Ubuntu archives. I will update this issue once it is ready. Thank you for catching this issue.
