feat: DEFAULT_FOLDER pre-selects a download folder (closes #875)

Most downloads from a given install land in the same custom directory,
which today means picking it by hand every time. DEFAULT_FOLDER seeds the
folder field once the configuration arrives; the field stays editable, so
per-download folders still work, and a folder already typed this session
is not overwritten.

The value is trimmed of surrounding slashes, and dropped with a warning
when CUSTOM_DIRS is off, since the UI hides the field in that mode and
the download path check rejects a folder anyway.
