 Today, browsing posts through Atompub backend is very limited. You have
 only one endpoint (wp-app.php/posts) and the ability to iterate on it
 (page 2, page 3, page X). You have no way to query or refine your search
 at all (filter by author, by tag, search, etc).

 Too bad, because WP ship with everything needed in its core to do that
 very easily.

 What i propose is to handle URLs in Atompub the same way they are
 supported in Wordpress core. All we need is:

 1) Add a new route in Atompub backend, to match this kind of queries (not
 exhaustive):

   - wp-app.php/posts/author/xxx
   - wp-app.php/posts/author/xxx/page/2
   - wp-app.php/posts/tag/xxx
   - wp-app.php/posts?s=XXXX

 2) Handle Atompub requests correctly in WP::parse_request

 3) Remove Atompub current offset & pagination handling, let WP core do the
 job.

 4) Generate correctly next/last/prev/self Atom links
