Description

As a follow-up to #25988 and #25999, this small patch series proposes to move the file download link on previews to a more common place – the contextual area. It also introduces another link wihin the "No preview available" message to make it easier for users to download a file instead of previewing it.

I think that the improvement is fairly useful but unfortunately the patch cannot be applied to the current trunk (r16559) cleanly. Could you tell me how can I apply them?

I am sorry, I failed to mention that #25999 and therefore #25988 are required for this patch to apply cleanly.

Thanks, the patch works fine now.
This small patch makes #25988 and #25999 even better and I think it should be merged along with those issues. Setting target version to 3.4.0.

My two cents based on the screenshots:

I'm not sure about this change. The current contextual area does not seem to be the best place for such a link (and an eventual 'raw' link as proposed in #25357). I kinda like the current (and #25999 's) link position (I'm aware of the fact this is really a matter of taste, which is a difficult thing design-wise...).

Nice one.

Yes, I was not sure as well but it seems better than the download link below the tabs after all. Patches are committed, thanks.
