net-p2p/transmission-daemon: Mitigate DNS rebinding attack

Incorporate upstream pull request 468, proposed by Tavis Ormandy from
Google Project Zero, which mitigates this attack by requiring a host
whitelist for requests that cannot be proven to be secure, but it can
be disabled if a user does not want security.

net-p2p/transmission-daemon: Improve UPDATING entry and add pkg-message

This will ensure users who do not read UPDATING are still presented with
the message about how to allow clients to connect to the daemon using
DNS when they upgrade the package.
