[gatsby-source-filesystem] createRemoteFileNode replaces original filename with hash

If files are downloaded through createRemoteFileNode the original filename is replaced by digest.

The problem is that if you download images you lose the descriptive filenames (a similar issue has already been fixed in gatsby-plugin-sharp #2752).

Would it be possible to append the original filename to digest? I know thatpath.parse(url).ext could be replaced with path.parse(url).base in gatsby-remote-file-node.js, however I’m not sure how this will work in cases such as #2985.

Thank you.

Is there any documentation describing how to use createRemoteFileNode and also about how it works? I wanted to know the best method to handle files and images from a headless CMS while working on a gatsby-source plugin. @calcsam @nik-s @KyleAMathews

As pointed out in #2306, descriptive image file names containing keywords are important for SEO.

Plugins such as gatsby-source-wordpress download media from remote sources using createRemoteFileNode (I see now that gatsby-source-wordpress is the only one working like that at the moment?).

Thanks!
