What's the feature 🧐

As issue #1407 (comment) points out, qBittorrent will stop listening on the incoming port when the VPN client is restarted, usually due to auto-healing. qBittorrent has a well documented WebUI API which could be used by the Gluetun container to change the incoming port temporarily to something else, then change it back again when the VPN client is restarted. The workaround was first suggested on the original issue #1407 (comment), and after doing port checks, I can also confirm it does allow the port to be accessible again.

I would suggest adding environments variables to Gluetun for the qBittorrent host, port, username and password to facilitate and authenticate the WebUI access, allowing Gluten to change qBittorrent settings without having to manipluate the container its running in.
