* Remove "local_dir_use_symlinks" from download_model()

>   /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.9.24/x64/lib/python3.9/site-packages/huggingface_hub/utils/_validators.py:202: UserWarning: The `local_dir_use_symlinks` argument is deprecated and ignored in `snapshot_download`. Downloading to a local directory does not use symlinks anymore.
