[Bug-wget] [PATCH] Support metalink:file elements with a "path/file" format

[Matthew White]

Hello!

I noticed that wget doesn't use the metalink:file element as the RFC5854 
suggests.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5854#section-4.1.2.1

The RFC5854 specifies that the metalink:file could have a "path/file" format. 
In this case wget should create the "path" tree and save the file as 
"path/file", but it doesn't. Instead wget saves the file in the working 
directory.

e.g. <file name="dirA/dirB/file.gz">

With this patch wget conforms to the RFC5854.

I made this patch working on the following branch:
master (latest 20cac2c5ab3d63aacfba35fb10878a2d490e2377)
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/wget.git

Let me know if this helps.
