Enables WebFinger (<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7033" rel="nofollow ugc">RFC 7033</a>) support for WordPress.
About WebFinger:
<blockquote>
WebFinger is used to discover information about people or other entities on the Internet that are identified by a URI using standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) methods over a secure transport. A WebFinger resource returns a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object describing the entity that is queried. The JSON object is referred to as the JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD).
