📄 Description

Sometimes it's just easier to copy/paste a torrent's hash than it's full magnet URL (mostly on mobile devices).

This PR allows a hash to be dropped in the input and a valid magnet link will be generated and passed to read-torrent.

An added benefit of doing so is that it will use the trackers users pass in the options file instead of the trackers usually added to the magnet file by various sites.

Other types of links / uploads aren't affected.

Example: Pasting this 08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10 will retrieve the torrents metadata and start the download the same way it would if you pasted this:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:08ada5a7a6183aae1e09d831df6748d566095a10&dn=Sintel&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.empire-js.us%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.btorrent.xyz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.fastcast.nz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com&ws=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2F&xs=https%3A%2F%2Fwebtorrent.io%2Ftorrents%2Fsintel.torrent

The example is using WebTorrent.io's "Sintel" torrent
