juggle multiple infohashes. hybrid torrents and the associated magnets can have two. we might only know the 20byte "identifier" prefix of a v2 hash if we captured it from the DHT
fetch piece layers root dictionary entry via hash request message
detect v2 content in a v1 torrent and try to upgrade

Work will be preliminary until there is some other implementation to test against.

There seems to be some bittorrent v2 support in transmission now, wondering if that helps.
