Proposal for 4.1: OpenSearch support

Another 4.1 proposal:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-1544

It looks to be very simple to implement. All we have to do is:

1) provide an XML document that describes the search URIs:
http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#OpenSearch_description_document

The existing search servlet could provide this conditionally, based on
a request param.

2) provide search results in feed format with a couple of extension elements:
http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#OpenSearch_response_elements

This could also be done in the seach servlet, using Elias' search
feeds as a starting point.


I will write up a more complete proposal for this and the Tag Data API
once I've figure out how to implement.
