Feature request: webtorrent support #8

I'd love to have webtorrent-cli support.

Downloads are started with the webtorrent download <torrent-id> where <torrent-id> can be:

a magnet uri
a http url to .torrent file
a filesystem path to .torrent file
an info hash (hex string)

I have never done any go, but the torrengo source code seems fairly easy to understand, so I though I might have a go (haha!) as a first dive into the language and try a pull request next week if you're ok.

If webtorrent is behaving the way you describe it might be an easy one. You'd need to add the new webtorrent download command here: https://github.com/juliensalinas/torrengo/blob/609e11d10000281d805aa6fec12e93284a70fd5d/torrengo.go#L592 and add a new option in the user interface, or maybe simply remove all other options if you don't need them: https://github.com/juliensalinas/torrengo/blob/609e11d10000281d805aa6fec12e93284a70fd5d/torrengo.go#L570

Enjoy your first Go program then! :)
