As the patch commentary says, I adapted this patch to apply to the
latest Transmission release. However, there is a new test failure with
these changes, so I'm waiting for advice:

https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/468#issuecomment-357091126

* gnu/packages/patches/transmission-fix-dns-rebinding-vuln.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/bittorrent.scm (transmission)[source]: Use it.
