cd13efeabf implement frontend autoupdate
Only the unread counter is updated right know.

The AutoUpdate Feature is designed on the premise of don't wasting resources. A
distinction is made between updates when Miniflux is visible or hidden.

To determine the visibility status, the Page Visibility API is used. The API is
available starting with Chrome 33, Firefox 18 and IE10. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/User_experience/Using_the_Page_Visibility_API]
As IE9 returns an undefined, it doesn't break the compatibility at least.

If Miniflux is visible, the unread counter on the web page is updated as soon as
a mismatch between the counter and the number of unread articles in the database
is found.

If Miniflux is hidden, the timestamp of the most recent article from each feed
is compared with the value from the last run. We have an update If the timestamp
of the latest article is greater than the stored one and the latest article is
unread. The web page title is updated with a ? symbol to notify the user and the
update check pauses till Miniflux gets visible again. If Miniflux gets visible
again, the number of unread articles is queried from the database, the unread
counter on the web page is updated and finally the ? symbol is removed from the
web page title.

This way I can use my fever API client to read new articles (or at least the
latest article) while Miniflux is hidden and as I've seen the new articles
already a new articles notification is prevented.

It's intentionally that the page does not reload automatically as long as
articles are visible. If I'm in hurry, I only scroll through the articles to
spot something interesting. Most of the time I don't reach the last article.
If the page is reloaded while I'm away, I would have to scan from the top again.

If we're on a nothing_to_read page and have unread articles in the database, a
redirect to the unread page will be done.

The default update check interval is 10 minutes and can be changed on the
settings page. A zero value disables the update check entirely.

80952f29b0 middle mouse button triggers event for all browser
This is a follow up to #1. The onclick event is triggered by different
mouse buttons across browsers:

Firefox
- all mouse buttons trigger document.onclick (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430310)
- only left mouse button triggers document.body.onclick

Internet Explorer
- only left mouse button and without any modifier key triggers
  document.onclick

Chrome
- left & middle mouse button trigger document.onclick

Safari
- left mouse button triggers document.onclick
- middle click via mac os?

By switching to the onmouseup event this can be unified for all
mentioned browsers to:

- (CTRL+) left click triggers event
- middle click triggers event
- right click does nothing

1e1e35e38c IE: 'open original' doesn't open article
The 'open original' link marks the item as read but doesn't open the
article.

After double clicking one 'open original' link, all other
'open original' links open the article as expected. Sounds like the IE
blocks the 'popup' silenty here.

The following in #196 reported issues are fixed by the change as well:
- a middle click on an 'open original' link triggers the popup blocker
- original link opened via middle click is always a foreground tab

9d31eb1a01 Fix feed-last-checked update after refresh-all
I've dropped it accidentally with my last commit. Furthermore I moved
the data-feed-id definition to the article element and dropped multiple
references of the feed id. That's similar to what I've done before with
the data-item-id in 3dae99ac.

The article element holds the information whether a feed is disabled now.

Now it is shown if a feed had errors while updating.

3dae99ac27 remove multiple definition of item id
The item id exists as data attribute or as element.id postfix on multiple
elements in an article.

The basic idea is to traverse the DOM tree - starting from the event firing
element - in reverse order till an article element is found.

This article element is passed to the JavaScript functions. These JavaScript
functions are getting the elements which they want to manipulate starting from
the article utilizing the JavaScript querySelector function.

The bootstrap themes had a conflicting and unused class style definied, which is
removed by now.

7bf2bab92c keyboard shortcuts won't fire with modifier keys
I had particular problems with Ctrl-N (open new window/tab)
interfering with N (go to next unread item). This change
disregards keyboard shortcuts if Alt, Shift, or Ctrl are used.
It also tries to disregard Win/Super/Meta, though this didn't
work for me in Firefox. Still, just the Ctrl is an improvement
for me.
