Improve the documentation (#2900) * Unify the line endings to the Unix style (LF only). * Fix (where possible) or remove broken links. * Improve the documentation. Fix or remove broken links (depending on whether I could find a working version of the resource). Change all links to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. Unify the capitalizations (e.g. uppercase abbreviations, capitalize proper names and downcase other words). Fix or improve some parts of the text, clarifying what is meant. Improve some parts of the program examples (e.g. only use root privileges where really required).

Transmission is fundamentally a BitTorrent client and communicates with other BitTorrent peers.
In addition to this Transmission supports network-based remote control, whereby an authorised user may control the Transmission core from the same or another machine via the [Transmission JSON RPC protocol](rpc-spec.md).
To make remote control easier from an arbitrary machine, Transmission core can also serve a JavaScript web application to any browser and which in turn makes JSON RPC calls back to the Transmission core.

Note. Although the diagram shows "Transmission Desktop Qt" as being a Qt GUI with Transmission core, the Qt component may be packaged on its own as a purely remote tool.
