Transmission-daemon use external configuration files specified on startup

Description

As of now, transmission-daemon being able to reload its config file while running (SIGHUP) and being able to set the config directoy is a nice feature. However, on Gentoo (and i'm sure many other *nix distros) the norm for config files is to have a /etc/ config file that would be re-read on SIGHUP and startup. With transmission, although you can specify the config directory, having the daemon drop its blockfiles, downloads and stats.json in the same directory is not ideal.

It would be nice to be able to specify an external settings.json on startup that could be re-read with SIGHUP. Even better, maybe make each of the settings files/directories specifiable on startup.
