Description

### Description

I'd like to have a setting that would allow me to choose how to update podcast RSS feed, via PocketCast crawler or directly. Some podcasts feeds have issues where the crawler can't reach them.

### Screenshots or screen recording

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Android app updates podcast RSS feeds and where the Pocket Casts crawler or direct-fetch path could be selected through a setting. Done means users can choose either update method and feeds that the crawler cannot reach can be updated directly; the issue names no files or tests to run.
