Description:

transmission is not possible to rebuild using modern autotools:

```
==> Starting prepare()...
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'.
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4'
ERROR: 'IT_PROG_INTLTOOL' must appear in configure.ac for intltool to work.
autoreconf: error: intltoolize failed with exit status: 1
```

This is a known issue [1], but it seems it won't be fixed in upstream since the only supported build system now is CMake.

Please consider switching to it as well.

I confirm the issue.

Smallest change would be to change the format of configure.ac so intltool accepts it [1].
Switching to cmake has some issues. The 3.00 tarball missed two files cmake requires [2]. The cmake build also does not support the web interface.
[3] Switches to cmake and uses system libraries for libnatpmp plus miniupnpc  FS#69451 .

Additional patch applies after PKGBUILD.diff.2 backports use of a bundled library for RC4.
With openssl 3.0.0 RC4 is moved to the legacy provider which is not loaded by default.
