Document of S3.Client.download_file uses the resource interface

[debugger-zhang]

Describe the issue

The example of the page currently reads:

import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
s3.meta.client.download_file('mybucket', 'hello.txt', '/tmp/hello.txt')

There are no need to use the resource interface, which is currently in maintanence mode. The example should use client interface:

import boto3
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
s3.download_file('mybucket', 'hello.txt', '/tmp/hello.txt')

Thanks - it looks like the download_file example should be consistent with upload_file here. Created https://github.com/boto/boto3/pull/4128 to update.
