 *
 * A button that can be used to trigger a server-side action, typically a
 * download of a file generated by the server. If server-side processing
 * is enabled in the host table it will automatically add the last parameters
 * used for a table draw allowing the script to output a file with the same
 * order / search applied as the main table.
 *
 * This is particularly useful when using server-side processing and wishing
 * to allow user export of the data in a table. The default Buttons package
 * will only export the data available on the client-side, while this button
 * can be used to let the server generate the required file and then download
 * it to the client-side.
 *
 * @example
 *   // Download button
 * 	var table = $('#example').DataTable({
 * 		dom: 'Bfrtip',
 * 		buttons: [
 * 			{
 * 				extend: 'download',
 * 				url: '/api/download'
 * 			}
 * 		]
 * 	});
