Downloadable
Securely force download binary files

Description
Downloadable allows you to attach a file to an entry and allow frontend users to download said file by clicking a link. You simply add ?download
to the entry's URL and the file begins downloading.
This force download method hides all filesystem-related data from the public, improving security while also allowing extended functionality.
Release 0.9.0 implements the basics, but relies on a specific Entry structure. It should be flexible enough for many uses now, but the 1.0.0 release will allow much more customization.
Current perks are the added security and ability to arbitrarily manipulate the filename of the file a user downloads (ie. uploaded file 'funky_weiRd-file-534231353.pdf' dynamically renamed 'Classy-Document.pdf').
