#18384: Remove the old root feed files

 These files can all go:

  - wp-feed.php
  - wp-rss2.php
  - wp-rss.php
  - wp-atom.php
  - wp-commentsrss2.php
  - wp-rdf.php

 We can keep them in the rewrite rules (in compressed form) and then catch
 them in canonical, and continue to redirect them there.

 Additionally, we will not add these files to `$_old_files`, so they won't
 be removed on upgrade. Of course, they are safe to remove, but it'll
 minimize breakage of lame use of these files.
