Public bug reported:

I’m packaging webbrowser-app as a snap, and when testing the app
installed as such, downloading files fails with the following error:

Failed moving file from "/home/osomon/.local/share/ubuntu-download-
manager/snap.webbrowser-app.webbrowser-app/Downloads/example.pdf" to
"/home/osomon/snap/webbrowser-app/x2/Downloads/example.pdf"

This is because the 'Downloads' folder doesn’t initially exist under $HOME/snap/webbrowser-app/x2/.
Creating the folder manually solves the issue.

The DownloadsModel should check for the existence of the destination
folder, and create it if it doesn’t exist.
