Feature Request: Add Support for Custom Path in kagglehub.model_download

[andre996]

Description:

When using kagglehub.model_download, the model is stored in a system-generated path that is not always intuitive or easy to manage. It would be highly beneficial to add functionality that allows users to specify a custom storage path during the model download process.

Example:

kagglehub.model_download('model_name', download_path='/desired/destination/folder/')

If no path is provided, the function can default to the current behavior or use the current path, storing it in the system-generated location.

For anyone that needs a solution right now, you can set the environment variable KAGGLEHUB_CACHE to your download location outside of the python or from within with:

    import os
    os.environ['KAGGLEHUB_CACHE'] = '/desired/destination/folder'

I can't give you enough thumbs for this solution. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through hoops to get this basic functionality.
