DownloadController to log downloads DCDEV-65

Jonathan Cooper requested to merge DCDEV-65-metrics-controller into develop

This adds the DownloadController providing an endpoint to record the download and redirect to the download url that is passed as a query param.

It does not log downloads from CEH staff listed in the metrics.users.excluded property.

It is designed to work when a MetricsService does not exist, such as when the profile is not 'eidc'.

The freemarker template responsible for creating the download link (_distribution_dataset.ftlh) has been updated to use this controller.

Closes DCDEV-65
