Subject: [PATCH] Emit full post content in RSS feeds via content:encoded

Hugo's embedded RSS template emits only <description> with .Summary,
truncating feed items to the first paragraph. This overrides the
embedded template to also emit a <content:encoded> element per item
with the full rendered HTML body of the newsletter or topic page.

- Adds xmlns:content namespace to <rss> root
- Keeps <description> unchanged for readers that only render it
- Uses transform.XMLEscape (same pattern as embedded template)
- Applies to all 10 language feeds (single template, no per-language work)

Verified well-formed XML on Hugo v0.123.7 and v0.140.0 (CI version).
