 In [changeset:"61551" 61551]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61551"
 Feeds: Fix backward compatibility of `fetch_feed()`.

 In [https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/pull/795
 simplepie/simplepie#795] handling of multiple feed requests was
 deprecated, triggering the message `Fetching multiple feeds with single
 SimplePie instance is deprecated since SimplePie 1.9.0, create one
 SimplePie instance per feed and use SimplePie::merge_items to get a single
 list of items.`

 This updates `fetch_feed()` to handle multiple requests using seperate
 SimplePie instances in order to retain backward compatibility.

 A PHP 8.5 deprecation was throwing notices in the event an empty URL was
 passed to `fetch_feed()`, `Using null as an array offset is deprecated,
 use an empty string instead`.

 This includes a workaround pending the release of a SimplePie version
 including [https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/pull/949
 simplepie/simplepie#949].

 Fixes #64136.
