Support input file containing list of software for 'download' feature #4481

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The download feature is really nice. Really helps in instances of offline systems and not needing to head to the web every time IA requires us to update. In its current state, it appears the download feature only supports passing in a single app to download.

Now this isn't really a huge issue as it's easy enough to script out and build a download string from a txt file of needed software but it would be cool if the download feature could support passing in a file containing the software you'd like to download so it's done in a one-liner and a bulk download launches.
