Feature request: Append configurable fixed string to added magnet URIs (e.g. trackers) #26

Description

@pataquets

Since trackers come and go and some magnet URIs don't even have trackers built-in, adding some well-known (or even private) trackers would speed up stream bootstrap and discovery.

This could be accomplished at add time by just automatically appending some fixed string passed at service start, containing some bootstraping, well-known trackers encoded in a URI parameter string. As you can't anticipate which URIs will need it and which trackers each user would find best, it would be a nice addition to let the user configure their own string with some sort of -magnetAddString &tr=... switch.

Notice I'm requesting a fixed generic string, which can be of use for adding trackers (which somewhat overlaps #22), but it might be used for other purposes, as long as it is kept generic enough. It could also be used to bootstrap the torrent from a well-known peer by adding a x.pe URI parameter, for instance (see BEP 9).
