make_magnet_uri should work on torrents that don't have metadata yet.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think make_magnet_uri should work even when the torrent doesn't have metadata 
(ie it was started as a magnet link and hasn't downloaded the metadata from the 
swarm). All the basic information are available to return a valid magnet uri.

This will allow for GUI clients (like qbittorrent) to offer the user a "copy 
magnet uri" menu item even for magnet files.

As far as I can tell, the make_magnet_uri() that takes a torrent_handle 
supports this

As far as I can tell, the make_magnet_uri() that takes a torrent_handle 
supports this. are you sure this isn't a limitation in qBitTorrent?

I am sorry that I wasted your time. You were right, the code was checking for 
has_metadata() on the handle and skipped make_magnet_uri(). I totally 
overlooked it.
