Cloudflare does NOT allow uploaded videos to be downloaded (just streamed).
This is enough for frontend apps (like Diamond or Desofy) but not for backend apps (like OneClout) which need to download the video to their servers before uploading it to a different platform (e.g. Twitter).
Cloudflare includes an endpoint that enables an uploaded video to be downloaded.
This PR adds a DeSo endpoint that calls said Cloudfare endpoint for a given video identifier.
It's important to note that a Cloudflare download is billed in the same way as the streaming of the video, which means that DeSo nodes will NOT be charged extra if this endpoint is used.
Note: I've created a new PR on the docs repo for the corresponding API documentation for when/if this PR is merged.
