Improve choosing where to download files

Stefano Crocco requested to merge stefanocrocco/konqueror:remember-last-save-directory into master

When downloading a file, the Save As dialog always opens in the Downloads directory. However, this can become annoying if the user wants to download many files in the same directory, as he'll have to navigate to that directory every time. To avoid this, two changes have been made:

  • the Save As dialog is opened in the directory where a file was last downloaded. This is stored independently for each window and is reset when the window is closed (including when Konqueror is closed)
  • a plugin is added to temporarily override the behavior described above. It allows the user to choose a directory to always open the Save As dialog in. This, too, can be set for each window independently
