feature: export and import with files. #112

Exporting and importing using text is good since it does not depend on anything external to the game. Nevertheless, it is a bit clunky.

It would be good to allow exporting as a file. The server would upload the file to a site that generates a direct download link, then it will send it to the user. An example of one of these sites (with an API) is https://anonfiles.com/docs/api

We can support importing in a similar way: the user will provide a direct download link to the file, and the server would download and import the world from there.

This is way easier now that we have a custom web client.
