* Separate hidden window, with its own renderer process, for WebTorrent (Must be a window. You cannot run WebRTC at all in a Web Worker, and you can't run it well in a node process like the electron main process.) * Disabled the create-torrent-modal for now. That gives us a consistent UX regardless of whether the user dragged files or folders onto the app or opened the Create New Torrent menu item. * Main process routes all messages between the main and webtorrent windows. * The renderer index.js is smaller now (but still too big), with the WebTorrent interface moved to webtorrent.js / it's own process. * The UI should be faster now, and should not lag under load.
