Report status in Braille when downloading files in Chrome  #14562

Description

@Qchristensen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As reported by Sergio via email, the status of files is reported in speech, but not in Braille when download files in Chrome. Having the ability to have this information reported in Braille would be useful for those who rely on Braille either exclusively, or more than speech.

Describe the solution you'd like

Report that the download is starting and when it is complete, and possibly status in between as needed, as is done in speech.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm not sure if this was deliberately omitted to keep the Braille display uncluttered with constant messages, but if that is the case, perhaps some way of choosing which messages are reported?

Additional context

I tested using:
NVDA 2022.4.0.27401
Windows 11 (64-bit) Version: 22H2, Build: 22621.1105
Chrome Version: 108.0.5359.126

I noted that Microsoft Edge, Version: 109.0.1518.55 approaches it slightly differently, displaying a message when a file is downloaded and this is reported.
