Can you try patch #1743, please?

At first i thought it solved the performance problem but i experienced it again.
Anyway it should improve a little performance by following more closely BT 
protocol.
What this patch do : 
- advertize to all peers that we have a new block/piece so they can update the 
 'idea' of what we have and perhaps try to download from us. (i don't think we
did that in 2-5-3 version)
- Allow at least 5 BT uploaders (independant of upload slots) and rotate
them in order to choose the best ones (those where we had the highest download
rate during the previous 10 seconds  ).
BT seems very dependant of the way we choose uploaders and it's far from perfect
even with this patch.


NB: there's a little 'feature' in this patch : it display far too many
dowloaders in gui (i'll perhaps fix this one day)
