Add a file upload to the FileProperty

[JanHolger]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now there is no way to upload a file into a file property manually, only through output of other pieces supporting the ApFile interface. This is (in my eyes) really bad user experience and makes testing out stuff really hard.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a file upload button to the FileProperty that allows uploading a file that then gets converted into the ApFile format (either on the client-side or server-side).

@JanHolger Interesting, I do get the part that it make testing better, but do you have a use case where the user has to upload it manually?

A straightforward use case would be lead magnets. You sign up to get my lead magnet (a marketing gift that you receive in your inbox after signing up to build a mailing list), users are dynamic but my magnet is one static file that will be sent over to all these users.

Another example is someone sending a pdf catalog of their product to a dynamic list of users.
