Title: Downloads done better

Implements a download mechanism that is more robust and configurable for end users.

This is a significant review, but there remain some work to be done *in separate pull requests*:

* remove the bundled shapefiles
* integrate the new "developer interfaces" page into the cartopy docs
* implement the downloader for web map tiles (and @esc24's gshhs data)
* document the config mechanism on the built cartopy docs (rather than as just a docstring)
