Date values should be in RFC-822 format, not RFC-2822

Does this work?

Hopefully this will fix the test failure.

This adds a new date format plugin, adds an update script to install it and changes the tests to use it.

Working on 📌 Fix tests against Drupal 10.2 Needs review .

This needs to be in the next release.

I convert Damien's patch to MR and test it. Works as expected

Committed. Thank you.

@damienmckenna: I would recommend to re-open this issue again, because with current used custom PHP date format in provided config it could produce issue for other languages.

When using your date format for a German only Drupal site you get following date in RSS feeds: Mi., 20 Okt. 21 12:09:11 +0200 which could produce issues in feed consumers because of German day / month names I would say.

Maybe it makes sense to use PHP's predefined constant DATE_RSS here?

Also confusing matters is the fact that, while the RSS spec specifies RFC822 (2-digit year) for the date format, the example given in the spec is based on RFC 2822 (4-digit year). It might not be that critical of a problem now, but it will be in around 33 years.
