Plugin currently only accepts entire layer for uploading to resource #8

Currently the QGIS plugin only accepts the entire layer to upload to a new or existing Arches resource, however this shouldn't be the only way geometries can be uploaded. This is because often, users of QGIS will only have one (or a few) layer(s) that they use to store multiple geometries on. They shouldn't be expected to create a new shapefile per geometry. Users should be able to select from the map which polygon/line/point they want to upload from a specific layer.

Perhaps there should be an option in the UI to select a specific geometry from the current layer, or upload entire layer.

It seems like it might be enough just to always rely on the selection. Users can always just 'select all' on their table to upload the entire thing. I believe this is the behavior of the ArcGIS AddIn
