Subject: [PATCH] fix(route/phoronix): Use `ofetch` and `parseString` for
 reliable feed fetching (#20543)

The `rss-parser`'s internal `parseURL` method can fail with an "Error:
Non-whitespace before first tag" on feeds that are gzipped or contain a
Byte Order Mark (BOM), as it lacks robust decompression and encoding
handling.

This change switches the Phoronix route to:

Fetch the raw XML string using `ofetch`, which handles compression and
encoding correctly.

Pass the resulting clean string to `parser.parseString()`.

This resolves the parsing issue and ensures the route is reliable.
