Add ability to easily import/export qBittorrent data

_By "qBittorrent data" I mean data/information about the torrents and not their actual files._ ### Intro Lots of people who download torrents, say to a **separate partition or drive and move to a different OS or to a device with a different OS**, lose their ability to seed as I have many times due to qBittorrent data not being easily portable and requiring some technical effort and time to do which I imagine for most people just isn't worthwhile. qBittorrent is very popular, I assure you that we are losing seeders in great numbers because of this, this needs to be addressed. ### Current process These days, when I do a move, I have to do the following: 1. Save `~/.local/share/data/qBittorrent` folder. 2. Restore that folder. 3. Launch the application. Lots of "missing files" errors at this point if the location of downloaded torrents has changed. This would happen for example when moving from Windows to Linux, partition/drive path will be different as it will previously have been addressed by a letter such as `D:` which Linux does not do. When I did this, I saw all the torrents show a "missing files" error except one which started downloading the torrent to the old Windows path on a Linux system before also showing a "missing files" error. 4. Set the download location of all torrents to the partition or drive on which they exist. 5. Wait for all torrents to complete file checks and resume. 6. Done. ### Proposed process 1. Click export - a JSON file is produced containing
