2652: browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel

FYI: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1738372

There is a small privacy issue with shoulder surfers, but in reality, this just needs to happen IMO
- we already prompt where to save, but even if we didn't, we also know we clicked or initiated a download
   - unless it's a drive by or user-gesture trickery - which is why we prompt
- the download icon is shown (if hidden) and the throbber/accent color go to work
- users can always click the icon to show entries (and open folder etc)
- this maintains the current behavior in FF94
