Support for v2 and hybrid torrent files #6

See: https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/

v2 moves to SHA-256 hashes. It is possible to create hybrid torrents that support v1 and v2 swarms at the same time.

SHA-1 chosen-prefix attacks are now in the USD 10k-100k range.

Given all of the above, I think there'd be a great benefit to supporting v2-only, and hybrid torrent file generation (in addition to the current v1-only support).
