check for writability of the external SD, even on KitKat. I am rooted and patched so I can store files where I want.
Instead of just assuming that a KitKat device cannot arbitrarily write to external SD, check for writability when selecting the download directory for podcasts. iow, no more :"Since android KitKat, apps can no longer write to the SD card except in their own folder."

Sorry but 99.999+% of the users are using unrooted devices ;)
Therefore I only allow storing on the app system folder.
Moreover Android doesn't return valid results when checking if a SD card is writable. It will always return true even though it's not the case.
