[Robert Lyon <robertl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

The change 70f75a2d75af47aa11aa93ee5b587d41caf957e9 sets the lastupdate
column in blocktype_externalfeed_data to null via this bit of code
db_format_timestamp('0')

Which in itself is fine - but the refresh_feeds() call can't handle the
null value so doesn't update the feed.

If one edits a feed the lastupdate field is populated with a date and
can be processed again.

As the problem has been around since 1.7 I propose to fix it by letting
refresh_feeds() handle the null as well - this way existing bad data
will get cleaned up.
