Description

### Description

Related with this previous report: https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-android/issues/715
I'd let you decide if it's a duplicate or not.
IMHO showing all downloaded podcasts ignoring subscription status should be the default, addition of subscription state for filters is a nice-to-have. I considered filling this as a bug for that reason (plus, it can lead to storage being filled and users having no knowledge on how to get it back without removing everything)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to discover page
2. Download any episode from a podcast you're not subscribed to
3. Go to "Downloaded" filter, the episode isn't there
