Transmission: accept non-default parameters

[bhm]

Description

Currently UI does not accept a custom

1. username,
2. rpc path,
3. port

for the RPC interface.

Given that Linux allows us to run multiple instances of the same services, I'd expect it to be supported.

Example custom config for Transmission (config should be placed in /home/customName/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json)

    "rpc-port": 1234,
    "rpc-url": "/transmission-custom/",
    "rpc-username": "customName",

Below config, when saved as /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] will allow you to run per user instance.

Priority might be debatable but It prevents me from using the Transmission feature
