Image upload function #122

@markusrt it would be nice to integrate an image upload function into the database :) When isolates arrive to the NRZ they are plated out onto chromogenic growth media to check whether the senders' species ID was correct. Chromogenic media in general is a quick an useful tool to distingush between different yeast species as they grow in different colors. For example: when the sender identified a yeast isolate as C. albicans, which usually grows green, and it does so on chromogenic media, than the species is confirmed; when it would grow blue than it would not fit to C. albicans but rather to C. tropicalis. However in a few cases we have mixed cultures which discrimate on chromogenic media and more importantly we sometimes find slight differences in color indicating two distinct clones from one species (i.e. 2 different c. albicans strains with a different green). In order to just document these color changes a upload would be ideal.

please find here a typical example of C.glabrata growing somewhat beige...

@MaxAldejohann do you need to store any additional metadata along with the uploaded images. I.e. a title or a description?
