Add support for changing path to the downloads folder in cypress configuration

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

could you add to the configuration something like:

downloadFolder: cypress/download

Normally it’s downloaded to the /Users/username/Downloads/fileName.example but I want to make it more elastic for other people which after running the tests, doesn’t have to change path to the downloads.

This issue is not a duplicate, the referenced ticket above focusses on the download dialogue, and only mentions changing the download location.

Still having issue in changing the default location
