SUP's link tag is invalid RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 #3

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an RSS feed that has a LINK tag identifying a SUP provider, like
http://workbench.cadenhead.org/files/rss-sup-example.xml.
2. Try to validate this feed in the Feed Validator: http://feedvalidator.org/ 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It fails with a "channel contains more than one link" error, since neither
RSS format permits multiple link elements.

A solution that would work for both Atom and RSS is to identify a SUP
provider with a namespace element, like this:

<rss xmlns:sup="http://friendfeed.com/api/sup/">
<channel>
<sup:provider href="http://friendfeed.com/api/sup.json#53924729"
type="application/json" />
