Closes#10363
In the original mtvservices:embedded test case, config.xml is still used
to get the feed URL. Some other examples, including test_Generic_40
(http://www.vulture.com/2016/06/new-key-peele-sketches-released.html),
and the video mentioned in #10363, use another endpoint to get the feed
URL. The 'index.html' approach works for the original test case, too. So
I didn't keep the old approach.
encode_dict functionality has been improved and moved directly into compat_urllib_parse_urlencode
All occurrences of compat_urllib_parse.urlencode throughout the codebase have been replaced by compat_urllib_parse_urlencode
Closes#8974
