Port libtransmission to C++. This PR doesn't refactor everything to c++.
Its code changes are only what was necessary to compile and link as c++.
See libtransmission/README.md for details on how to submit modernization
patches!

There're places where manual intervention is still required as uncrustify
is not ideal (unfortunately), but at least one may rely on it to do the
right thing most of the time (e.g. when sending in a patch).
The style itself is quite different from what we had before but making it
uniform across all the codebase is the key. I also hope that it'll make the
code more readable (YMMV) and less sensitive to further changes.
1. add the option the code to be used under GPLv2 or GPLv3; previously only GPLv2 was allowed
2. add the "proxy option" as described in GPLv3 so we can add future licenses without having to bulk-edit everything again :)
3. remove the awkward "exception for MIT code in Mac client" clause; it was unnecessary and confusing.
