[rss] Omit title if the post has none.

[kr428]

Not sure whether this should qualify as feature request or bug report: When using Friendica for a more micro-blog'ish use case (posting content without title set), the Friendica RSS feed generator seems to pre-populate the feed item title with a snippet of the text. This causes undesirable behaviour in some systems that consume these kind of feeds. Expectation would be: If the post has no title set in Friendica, the title in the feed should be empty too.

"Broken"(?) Friendica example: https://loma.ml/feed/z428

"Expected" behaviour (external Bludit blog at https://status.z428.eu/rss.xml ):

Is that possible, or would this break things in other parts of the system?

AFAIK one need to provide a title to create a valid feed.

Title not being empty apparently is "just" a recommendation that doesn't prevent a feed from being valid:

As another option, if not wanting to leave the item title empty, maybe "published" or "updated" or some date representation could be used here?

Looking closer, the link to #13865 isn't correct, this is a different issue related to a different part of the system. Maybe this is something that could be easily fixed...?
