Mount ChromeOS "Downloads" folder to ~/Downloads in Crostini

Reported by keithiok...@gmail.com, Jul 25

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10888.0.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3494.0 Safari/537.36
Platform: Google_Eve.9584.160.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
ChromeOS/ChromiumOS should allow a user to mount their ChromeOS "Downloads" folder to ~/Downloads within the Crostini container. 

What is the expected behavior?
If a download is triggered from within the ChromeOS Chrome Web Browser, it should be made available to the Crostini container in ~/Downloads. This is already what is done with Android

What went wrong?
Currently after downloading a file, a user must launch the ChromeOS files application and drag/drop the required file into the "Linux Files" directory before it is made available to Crositi 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3494.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: 10888.0.0
Flash Version: 30.0.0.134 

As it stands, if I want to open a document in Open Office, I need to download it from GMail on ChromeOS, Launch the ChromeOS File Manager, move the document from my ChromeOS Downloads Folder to the "Linux Files", Launch Open Office and choose the file I want to open. I really think this should be simplified.
