Patch: Allow nnrss to be verbose

[Mark Plaksin <happy@usg.edu>]

This patch adds nnrss-verbose.  When t, nnrss writes to the minibuffer when
it requests a feed.

Sometimes fetching an RSS feed takes too long and I want to interrupt it.
Without this patch, I can't tell which feed it's trying to fetch.  I also
can't tell that Gnus is trying to fetch an RSS feed--it just looks stuck
and I wonder what I'm interrupting when I hit C-g :)
