Make PDF download page and file more user-friendly #132

Let's start with "Don't get me wrong, I am an UUID lover but..."

  1. The PDF download experience can be improved a lot by using the title together with (or instead of) the RID. RIDs are not meaningful for 99% of users so it is difficult to locate/identify files in your device through the RIDs.
  1. This also applies to the download page where the title is the RID. The image group number underneath is even more criptic since it doesn't appear anywhere else (not even on the BUDA website).

  2. The volume name on display is different from the name of the file that gets saved in the user device, making it a bit confusing.

  3. The first volume in multiple volumes doesn't have a v# tag. If it's difficult to change we can keep it this way but it should be reflected in the list of the download page.

Here's a proposed improvement on that page with several volume naming options.

I need to have a look at the json returned by IIIF, maybe I need to put the label there too
