Solves issues with stats etc. not updating properly and reduces the amount of leftover temporary files. Access to settings.json is kept read-only to keep it in sync with UCI. Signed-off-by: Ludvig Liu Holtze <ldw.liu.holtze@proton.me>

📦 Package Details
Maintainer: @dangowrt
Description:
Transmission seems to expect to have read/write access to its config directory. When it tries to update a file there, for example
stats.json, it first creates a temporary file (likestats.json.tmp.xxxxxx) and then moves it into the proper place. However, with the current ujail configuration, this fails:stats.jsondoes not get updated and the temp file is not removed. With a long-running transmission daemon, this makes the config directory fill up with stale temp files.This PR grants the daemon write permission to files in the config directory except for
settings.json. This makes file updates work and drastically reduces the amount of temp files lying around. The daemon still creates some when it occasionally tries and fails to write tosettings.json(probably only on startup/shutdown). This seems to happen at a much lower rate than other writes though, and this way the settings file is kept in sync with UCI at all times.🧪 Run Testing Details
