v5.5.4 - security update

Main update in 5.5.4

There was a bug in rqbit where it didn't check hashes after downloading pieces. It was a one line fix, but took a long to debug. This manifested in super rare cases where after restarting rqbit, it would initialize already downloaded torrents to 99.*% and then would redownload broken pieces.
