* fixed uTP vulnerability
* make utf8 conversions more lenient
* fix loading of piece priorities from resume data
* improved seed-mode handling (seed-mode will now automatically be left when
  performing operations implying it's not a seed)
* fixed issue with file priorities and override resume data
* fix request queue size performance issue
* slightly improve UDP tracker performance
* fix http scrapes
* add missing port mapping functions to python binding
* fix bound-checking issue in bdecoder
* expose missing dht_settings fields to python
* add function to query the DHT settings
* fix bug in 'dont_count_slow_torrents' feature, which would start too many
  torrents

Not sure if this should be a security bug with the first change [1].. maintainer should investigate

This version is now required by qBittorrent 3.2.2 and newer. The portage version is not good enough.

So to get qBittorrent updates in the tree, this needs to be updated.
