Ability to download files #65
Description
This is probably the only thing missing in phpdesktop right now, that would
prevent existing web apps from working out of the box. This still needs work.
We would need to implement CefDownoadHandler and display some "Save as" dialog
using Windows API call, probably GetSaveFileName():

It would be nice to have the "Save as" in mouse context menu that would appear
for links. It would give ability to download even those files that are not
normally downloadable (no headers that identify it as an attachment).
I'm not yet completely sure about the "Save as" feature in context menu. How
should it behave when user tries to download a link that is an html page? I
don't think I'm going to implement the "Save complete webpage" feature, it's
much more work, and it feels like it's a feature for a real web browser.
What would be the use cases for the "Save as" feature? I'm not yet convinced
that we really need it. It would definitely need to be configurable through the
settings.json file, because it's probably not desirable by everyone.
