Before this change, .torrent files would only be associated to WebTorrent Desktop if another torrent client (like Transmission) was installed on the system. That's because one of the user's apps needs to define "UTExportedTypeDeclarations". On a fresh machine, without Transmission, WebTorrent Desktop now associates .torrent files correctly. So it will appear in the "Open With..." menu and the webtorrent .torrent icon will be used for .torrent files. Closes #542.
