Allow specifying file indices when requesting content of torrents

[riaqn]

(Sorry I can't use the template for some reason)
When request the content of a torrent, the current WebAPI simply returns all the files. This is very wasteful when the torrent contains hundreds of files and the user is actually interested in only a few of them. I suggest we add an id parameter which is a list of file indices delimeted by |. The API should then return only the files of those indices. For backward compatiblity we can make the id parameter optional such that all files are returned when it's omitted.

Do you really need to obtain any arbitrary subset of files? Or maybe just some continuous one?

Hi @glassez . In my particular case I want to obtain files that could be non-continuous. Would that be a problem?

I think No.
