Move the directive documentation into its own underlay, separate from basewiki, since it's sorta large compared to the rest of basewiki.

Optional, + if not specified, the directory is based on the name of the feed. +* `feedurl` - The url to the feed. Optional, if it's not specified ikiwiki + will look for feeds on the `url`. RSS and atom feeds are supported. +* `updateinterval` - How often to check for new posts, in minutes. Default + is 15 minutes. +* `expireage` - Expire old items from this feed if they are older than + a specified number of days. Default is to never expire on age. +* `expirecount` - Expire old items from this feed if there are more than + the specified number total. Oldest items will be expired first. Default + is to never expire on count. +* `tag` - A tag to tag each post from the feed with. A good tag to use is + the name of the feed. Can be repeated multiple times. The [[tag]] plugin + must be enabled for this to work. +* `template` - Template to use for creating the aggregated pages.
