Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

• The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
• All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
• All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
• A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
• Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
  it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.

The PR only have one file change, There should be more per simplepie/simplepie@1.5.8...1.8.0

@mukeshpanchal27 I've added more files, but since the new version uses PSR-4, @peterwilsoncc suggested including the src folder as well. I'm still figuring out how to do that.

@mukeshpanchal27 just following up on the blocker here. Can you please ping someone who can review or help with this PR?

@faisal-alvi I did some very rough experimenting with dropping the simple pie zip in to the existing folder (ie, moving the library files in to the library directory) and replacing inclusion of files with their new autoloader.

It wasn't super successful as WP_Feed_Cache_Transient is now required to implement SimplePie\Cache\Base which is not the case.

IN short, it loosk like there will be quite a bit of messing around require to upgrade to 1.8.0.

Thanks for the PR! This is now resolved in r59141.
