Summary

Allow users to add custom RSS feeds beyond the pre-configured providers (VRT, Belga, Guardian).

Context

Currently feeds are tied to a provider config key (vrt, belga, guardian) which maps to specific parser classes. Users should be able to add any RSS feed URL without needing a custom parser — the generic RSS parsing infrastructure from #37 handles this.

Scope

RSS feeds only (no website scraping for custom feeds)
Two "system feeds" shipped via seeder (e.g. VRT, Guardian) that can't be deleted
User-added feeds are "custom" type — fully manageable (create, edit, delete)

Tasks

Add is_system flag (or feed_type column: system/custom) to feeds table
Migration to mark existing seeded feeds as system feeds
Seeder updates to set system flag on default feeds
Prevent deletion of system feeds (API + UI)
UI for adding custom RSS feeds: URL input, name, language selection
Validate RSS feed URL on creation (attempt fetch, confirm valid XML/RSS)
Custom feeds use generic RSS parser (no provider-specific parser needed)
Update feed CRUD endpoints to handle custom feeds
Tests for custom feed creation, validation, and deletion protection
