Description

Would it be possible to get the will-download event to Session class? I would want to prevent certain file extensions to be downloaded. Another thing would be that could do automation with specific filetypes. More information of this at https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/download-item.md

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how to expose the Electron 'will download' event in the Electron.NET Session class. Look at existing event implementations in Electron.NET for patterns. Then add an event handler and connect it to the underlying Electron API.
