Subject: [PATCH] DEV: Drop fast_xs gem (#26442)

Why this gem?

This gem was added close to 10 years ago to speed up the generation of
RSS feeds. However, RSS feeds generation do not even call `String#to_xs`
anymore and the `fast_xs` gem does not install on macOS without using
the following workaround:

`bundle config build.fast_xs
--with-cflags=\"-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types\"`

Therefore, we have decided to drop the gem.
