Update Information:

Update to 0.13.2, 0.9.2

* Only request from one tracker in a tier at one time.
* When in promiscious mode, only do one additional request from a tracker. This should handle the cases of connecting to a completely new torrent before any other peers and to ensure we get enough peers for normal trackers, while keeping loads low.
* Only do scrape for one tracker per tier.
* Allow tilde for 'log.open_file' path.
* Added logging of options for created torrents.
* Differentiate scrape and normal requests in the tracker list.
* When 'throttle.max_*.global.*.set' commands are called they will automatically update the libtorrent settings, so it is no longer needed to set the throttle to force this update.
* Added 't.is_usable', 't.is_busy', 't.is_extra_tracker', 't.can_scrape', 't.activity_time_next', 't.activity_time_last', 't.success_time_next' and 't.failed_time_next'.
* Return hex instead of binary for 'd.chunks_seen'.
