Multiple files doesn't work in Brave

[mikeal]

If you take multiple files and drag/drop them into the browser and send the list of files from drag-drop to webtorrent.seed you get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: item.path.shift is not a function

Digging into it a bit it looks like Brave has a property on each File object that Chrome doesn't, the .path property. The property also appears to be immutable, I've tried working around the issue by deleting it or setting it to null but nothing happens, it doesn't throw either though.

Webtorrent does a bunch of mutation of the file object properties which all may not work in Brave right now. May want to migrate that code to use local variables instead of mutating the file object.

• WebTorrent version: 0.97.2
• Node.js version: 6
• Browser name/version (if using WebTorrent in the browser): Brave

(this can be reproduced using Brave against a local instance of https://github.com/feross/instant.io)

Single files are also messed up in Brave because of the same or similar code. The filename and path encoded into the torrent are just the last character in the string :(

I think this was fixed a while ago, but since Brave will not be using Electron going forward, I think that they'll get the same File implementation as Chrome now so this should definitely work in Brave beta now. LMK if this is not the case.
