Add image attachment #7

Maybe we should use a blob -> base64, and then use a field to show an image embed.

Or, an image could be a message of its own, where you know it is an image since it starts with base64;/ or something.

@vdaita yeah I was/have done/do this, though it is never recommended. :/

At some point I want to support binary data transfer which shouldn't be too hard, just not a priority.

For now, the "best" way to do this, would be to store the image in WebTorrent or IPFS or something, and then use GUN to sync the magnet URI or hash or whatever.
