Save final orders as order_name instead of order_id #995

Description

Current Problem

As a customer, I give each tasking order a unique name which is how I identify these orders in my organisation. For example, 1406_XY_XZ_LST, but when I download these fulfilled orders, the final folder name (or zipped file) is saved as order-id, which is good for Planet's systems, but not for me as a final user. This increases my workload, and the names of these folders are meaningless to my workflow.

My current workaround for this is reading the names of these folders (order-ids) one by one, make a GET request to https://developers.planet.com/apis/orders/reference/#tag/Orders/operation/getOrder, retrieve the order name from the response, and rename the folder. This is a cumbersome four-step process.

Proposed Solution
In this line

async def download_asset(self,
we, have an option of filename. This should be the order_name. Additionally, in this line
async def download_order(self,
we do have the option of giving an argument to the function, which is 'order_id' currently. If this changes to 'order_name', it will be better, because 'order_id' argument is read by this line
dl_path = Path(directory, filename or body.name)
which saves the folder ultimately.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
One of my customers complained that they can't use SDK because the final orders are saved in a folder/zipfile as order_ids, and they can't manually read each ID, copy it, search for it in Explorer, by opening each order one by one and comparing. Thus I created a script that could automate for them, but this creates additional load on Planet's servers, thus increasing cost. If we have SDK in-built solution, it will be good for the customer.
