Description of changes:
This is a docs change that goes out in parallel with Amplify Android change aws-amplify/amplify-android#3056. Amplify Android is adding a new StorageException scenario when it attempts to download a file when the following conditions are met:
Essentially, since the app doesn't have write permissions, Amplify can't overwrite the file so throw an exception for the developer to react to. Since scoped storage is a relatively new (and honestly very difficult concept to implement properly), we want to add a note in the documentation since it's not something that's obvious for a lot of developers.
