Add support for transmission

[TooncesToo]

Would it be possible to add support for transmission to set peer-port?
Either using transmission-remote by installing transmission-cli package and passing the proper command line something like: $ transmission-remote $TRANSMISSION_HOST:$TRANSMISSION_PORT --auth=$TRANSMISSION_USERNAME:$TRANSMISSION_PASSWORD -p $WINDSCRIBE_PORT

You would need to export the Windscribe port found as an environment variable but it would make it easier to add support for other BT clients.

Or another option is through an rpc call to http://host:9091/transmission/rpc

RPC would not require a client but may be a little more to configure than using the transmission-remote client.

I haven't used windscribe for a while, but now that mullvad nuked port forwarding, I might return to it.

As for adding support for other torrent clients, well, this project was initially meant to be a quick and dirty hack, but now that there is interest in it, I think it would be a good idea to re-brand it to just windscribe-ephemeral-port, add support for all kinds of torrent clients, maybe add a generic webhook, maybe an ability to run a program/bash script with the new port as an argument, and maybe even re-write it in rust ;)

some time ago @EnumC forked it and added qbittorrent support.

Progress update 2:
I've been running the dev build of v3 for a while now in my lab and it seems to be rock solid so I'll try to get everything documented and published when I'll have some time.
