----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Currently get_default_feed() returns rss2 (RSS 2.0), but
 get_the_category_rss() has as default "rss--i.e. RSS 0.92--as the default.

 Also, if you request "rss," either by /?feed=rss or /feed/rss/, the
 response is in RSS 0.92 format.  To get RSS 2.0 you either have to request
 rss2 specifically or feed=feed.

 Since RSS 2.0 is what you get from get_default_feed(), and because it's
 newer and has more features than RSS 0.92, it seems to me that default
 "rss" (?feed=rss or /feed/rss/) should be RSS 2.0, not 0.92 as it is now.

 The attached patch:
  * Makes "rss" RSS 2.0
  * Lets you specify RSS 0.92 with rss092
  * Makes the default value for get_the_category_rss() be whatever
 get_default_feed() returns
