Remove or use Aggregator's teaser_length setting

Problem/Motivation

The Aggregator module teaser_length setting is not used anywhere in 8.x.

In D7, the setting only changes the item description length in Aggregator's RSS view and then only if you have the system RSS Publishing feed content setting set to Titles plus teaser. Users thinking that the teaser length setting would change how items are displayed in Aggregator's page views have led to at least one bug report and some comments in the Related issues.

Since Aggregator's RSS feed is now generated by Views in 8.x, the teaser_length setting has no effect. At least I haven't been able to find anywhere that it's being used.

Proposed resolution

Remove the teaser_length setting from 8.x or enable it to do something, for instance by turning it into one of Aggregator's RSS View display options.
