Use first line as excerpt

[xurxodiz]

Add an option to automatically set as excerpt the first line (after title, so second total) of the post.

Do you think it would also be an option to get this functionality for yourself using your own plugin? I think we could add a hook to https://github.com/akirk/enable-mastodon-apps/blob/main/includes/handler/class-status.php#L263

Sure, people could just add some callback in functions.php that, after being passed $post_data['post_content'], returns the desired excerpt. But don't you think it could be a generally useful option to provide out-of-the-box?
