Add torrent dialog: let users add torrents in Forced state #11659

This is like a super simple request/idea. Hopefully, not a duplicate. Basically, it would be great if there was a checkbox in the add torrent dialog for making the new torrent have a "Forced" state. Honestly, a new button near OK would make the perfect sense - but if users have no clue what "Forced" means, the option to add a torrent forced should not be so visible.

Why / Reasoning: I have my client limited to 0.00 ratio as I don't want to seed things that I already seed elsewhere or things that have super great swarms (like Ubuntu). So whenever I add a torrent that I do actively want to seed, I add it, then right-click, "Force Resume". This works superb. But if I forget to do this, I can catch a hit and run or end up not seeding.

Just a little bit of convenience. Thank you. Feel free to close the ticket if you see no point in adding it!

I suggest to add both options and make Feature requests to be linked because both make prioritization in two different ways and it preferable to have both variants:
