Export/Import and Store in XBEL

[GreenLunar]

Following comment by @Dalethium.

I think, if this were to be integrated, it may be more fruitful to use a more widely adopted external bookmark system such as XBEL -- that way more widely supported systems such as Flocus could be used along with many others.

I think that using something like XBEL is smarter since it's a format standard, and not a specific project that Yacy would have to then integrate and work with. That way, if other projects wanted to integrate with Yacy's bookmark system, they could follow a standard format and not depend on this project or any other project for integration practices.

Also relevant #494 (once applied, there are already apps that can handle XBEL bookmarks for us)

Added Store to title, which would be beneficial to @OtterBrowser users
Otter Browser stores bookmarks at `.config/otter/bookmarks.xbel'

The attached XSL script converts XBEL into HTML.

1. Rename FILENAME.xbel into FILENAME.xml
2. Open XML file for edit
3. Below first line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
4. Add <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xbel-1.0.xsl"?>
5. Open XML file
6. Save page as HTML

Done

I don't think it's an orderly way to do so. I've just posted it for the sake of information.
Would you like me to send a PR (in python) to import and export in XBEL format?

That would be great.

Closing as we expect a PR for this.
