FR Model management / downloading / storage

[halr9000]

Would be easier to manage models if we had ability to

• store models in base folder (comfyui/models/animatediff)
• download a default model automatically (you can steal code from a half-dozen diff nodes that do this)

Model inside custom node folder is pretty awkward, esp if I wanted to reinstall.

As of the latest update about 30 minute ago, you can now store models in ComfyUI/models/animatediff_models and ComfyUI/models/animatediff_motion_lora directories (they will be created automatically upon launching comfy with the updated AnimateDiff-Evolved).

You can also now use external directories via the ComfyUI extra_model_paths.yaml file. The keys for the two folders would be animatediff_models and animatediff_motion_lora (also documented in the new README).

As for model downloading, I'm going to think about it, but I want to limit the amount of things that can go wrong - recently, a lot of plugins that download models automatically have issues with the download getting interrupted for one reason or another/getting corrupted, spawning a lot of duplicate issue reports for those plugins.

Awesome changes, thanks
