Download a node file

GET 
/api/download_node_file

Serves one of a node's files as a download.

Separate from get_node_files, which hands the whole directory to the editor as text: this writes a file to the caller's own machine, so it requires the Edit node scripts permission rather than the read that opening a node on the Scripting page needs.

The bytes are served exactly as stored, so a file the editor cannot render - an attachment sitting beside the script, say - still downloads intact.

The file's bytes, as an attachment.
