If the destination of a WebKitDownload is a file that already exists, the download will always fail. This is awkward because some browsers want to allow users to save a downloaded file over an existing file.  For example, in Epiphany if you use the Save Image As feature (right click on an image) and try to save over a file that already exists, we have a dialog box to confirm that the user really wants to overwrite the file -> user confirms he wants to overwrite the file -> download fails with error message "file already exists."
