Subject: [PATCH] webui: category default download location in add modal

The add-torrent save path now shows the selected category's default
location (its own save path, else the global default), greyed and
read-only. Clicking makes it editable; an overridden path then stays
put when the category changes. Resolves the "category default location
does nothing" issue by feeding the category's save path into the add.
