Fixed #14176 -- Added forwards compatibility to the legacy syndication feed view. This allows class-based feeds to be deployed using the old-style feed view, as long as the feed requires no arguments (i.e., get_object returns None). Thanks to psychcf for the report, cwhaines for the investigation, and Andrew Godwin for the assist.
