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!

I'm seeing 7 potentially false reported issues re. use of uninitialized buffer
data here. It seems that `read` function should be properly supported by
Coverity, but maybe it can't figure out the postconditions of it properly...
Walking in the dark here.
This way all the qualifiers (`const`, `volatile`, `mutable`) are grouped
together, e.g. `T const* const x` vs. `const T* const x`. Also helps reading
types right-to-left, e.g. "constant pointer to constant T" vs. "constant
pointer to T which is constant".
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.
