Bittorent v2 support

Edit: it may belong there? https://invent.kde.org/network/libktorrent/-/issues

https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/

This needs parsing torrent info with sha256 hashes and a new merkle tree structure.

It also brings welcome improvements: deduplication across torrents (!), smaller magnet link size, 16 KiB chunks.

KTorrent should at least support hybrid magnets and torrents. I tried opening an hybrid magnet link, but can't tell if something is happening.

Suggested roadmap:

  • Parse v1 info from hybrid magnets/torrents
  • Parse v2 info
  • Tell the user v2 isn't supported for now when they try to open a v2 torrent/magnet
  • Support downloading v2 torrents
