When uploading large files, it would be nice to have a progress bar or other indicator of progress #18

Steps to reproduce:

Create a davros grain
Use the menu to select a file and upload it to the grain

Expected behavior:

See some indication that upload is in progress

Actual behavior:

The only indication is that the grain size is increasing, which is an indicator, I suppose, but a very subtle one! (-:

Oops, this was totally intended to work, but I did a big refactoring of the uploading in the last version and it broke it. Fixed in https://github.com/mnutt/davros/commit/033ed3a2c6cce22b7ef7d7c9fa143eb2e00c974d and will get released in the next version.

Even so, the indicator is extremely minimal. I'd be curious if it's sufficient for web uploads, or if a more full-featured upload progress page listing individual uploads would be useful at some point.
