Add full magnet link support:

  • add cfg.magnet_link.queue variable:
    • enabled by default
    • whether to queue a magnet link download upon initial downloading to be able to use Queue Manager instead of start downloading it straight away
  • modify addMagnetLink.sh external script (rename it to addMagnetLinksNative.sh) to be able to:
    • accept multiple magnet URIs
    • use in scripting
  • add alternative addMagnetLinksAria2.sh external script if the above fails:
    • it downloads and creates torrent files from magnet URIs into one of the "queue" (!) directories of rTorrent
      • so it doesn't take into account the cfg.magnet_link.queue variable
    • accept multiple magnet URIs
    • use in scripting
    • requires aria2c command

Note that the native way is the preferred way:

  • downloaded torrent (meta) files can't be renamed by aria2.

Also update corresponding WIKI page.

Refers to: #74 , #102 , #117
