rcloud.download.file() is very user-unfriendly #2722

One would expect that something like

rcloud.download.file("myfile.csv")

would just work, but it doesn't. As it is, most R users won't be able to use the function. We should

1) provide sensible defaults 2) read content from the file if no explicit content is provided
