[Feature request] Add beforeCreated event to chrome.downloads

Reported by t.jag...@gmail.com, Jul 4 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. 
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Currently there isn't any way to listen to events that will be fired before something happens. In this case before download begins.

I'd like to ask for beforeStart (beforeCreated) event that would get fire just before browser starts download file (and before user has option to specify download location and file name).

Basically I'm trying to create extension that will allow me to download files remotely - on first machine I want to click on link, then I'd like to be ask do I want to download file locally or remotely, if I choose remotely then on remote machine that download starts.

This event would allow me to create such functionality.

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0
