calculate sha1 of file and check against a new API entry before user uploads it #157

Open jbrzusto opened 6 years ago

worth coding the API and javascript client sides of this, as the motus upload page can use them.
new API should be lookup_file_by_hash(sha1), with sha1 a hex string, and return:
```
{
"sha1": "<hex string>", 
"exists":false
}
```
if the file has not been uploaded before, or

{
"sha1": "<hex string>", 
"exists":true,
"uploadID": 111,
"jobID":999
}

where 111 is the motus upload ID for the previous upload of this file, and 999 is the ID of the job which processed it.
