I've noticed Flood becoming increasingly unstable, only being fixed (temporarily) by restarting rTorrent. Upon investigation, it looked like the rTorrent was getting into a bad state where it wouldn't respond to RPC requests. I couldn't get to the bottom of it, so I've switched the torrent backend out for Transmission, which works pretty much just as well. Flood is still pretty laggy, but at least does appear to keep working.
It performs way better.

I've been having problems with flood becoming totally unresponsive until rtorrent (not flood) is restarted - which suggests a problem with rtorrent.
I tried switching out rtorrent for transmission and flood performance did significantly improve, but was still pretty bad.
So this PR removes both rtorrent and flood in favour of transmission, plus the transmission web UI (themed to look like flood).
