media download has no UI feedback
Describe the improvement
When tapping the save icon for an image, there is no feedback that the action was initiated, only a notification that the file was saved. This is a problem when download is slow.
This is also the case for long-press to download, see #213 (closed). In both cases, the UI should display feedback to the user that a file download was initiated, so they can either wait, or resume scrolling because they trust it is working in the background.
I would suggest perhaps an animated icon added to the post itself (in the case of downloading direct from a post) or above the media (in the case of tapping the save icon from the expanded media view).
