Add download button to the webinterface #76

Description

@jonnew

Currently, unless I'm missing something, its a bit difficult to actually download a file when browsing the library. You can view the file on githubs code render, then show raw, then right click save.

Maybe there should be a download button next to the JSON link that allows you to download the file?

    I agree there should be both a download button (can we use your drawing as icon?? :) ) and also a snippet of code to instantiate the probe from probe interface. @h-mayorquin do you have time to address this?

    I agree with the snippet to instantiate on probe interface

    Regarding downloading, what do you mean @jonnew? you mean getting the json? what is exactly the thing that you want to download and what for?

    I am asking because I am curious on how people use our objects. It is always good to have an overall view on that.

    Yes, to get the json. I built a neuropixels configuration GUI for our bonsai library that is centered on probe interface. Users can upload any of your files and then access probe-specific hardware config capabilities. They can configure active electrodes etc and save the PI file along with their data. So, it would good to point people a place where they can download probe interface files as a starting point.
