Fix thread leak in FileDownloadDelegate (#614)

* Fix thread leak in `FileDownloadDelegate`

* `SwiftFormat`

* Add a shared file IO thread pool per HTTPClient

* User bigger thread pool and initlize lazily during first file write

* thread pool is actually not used in tests

* Update documentation

* fix review comments

* make `fileIOThreadPool` internal

* Add test to verify that we actually share the same thread pool across all delegates for a given HTTPClient
