Add a method to get path to user Downloads directory

[AChep]

Seems like the original Python module got updated and now allows to pull even more useful directories! Would be amazing to have it on Java platform as it seems like there's no library that can do it yet.

Hello @AChep ,

Thank you for the idea!
I checked the linked page.
It seems that the download directory is a directory named "Downloads" in the user's home directory for all platforms.

In Java, System.getProperty("user.home") returns the path to the user's home directory, so it probably makes more sense for you to use it to create the path in your application.
This technique can be applied to the other similar directories (Music, Movies, etc.) as well.

@harawata unfortunately that is not the case for Windows, as it allows a user to change the Download directory location 😢

There seems to be a KNOWNFOLDERID for the Downloads folder (374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B) and XDG has XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR, so I'll add getUserDownloadsDir() (it should be plural, right?).
On macOS, it will always return ~/Downloads.

Yeah. Thanks a lot!

Hello @AChep ,

I have merged #81 .
It would be great if you could try the latest 1.2.2-SNAPSHOT and see if everything works as you expected.

Thank you for taking the time to submit the request!

Hi @AChep ,

I have released 1.2.2 just a moment ago.
If there's any problem, I will fix it and release 1.2.3.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I should be working on a feature that depends on this in the next few months.

I'll make sure to report anything bad if I find it!
