Add "shoot and upload a video right away"

[kimminji00]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When i click "+" button, i can upload files. But, When I click "Upload from camera", I can only take pictures and I can't shoot videos. So, I can't shoot and upload a video right away. This causes a lot of inconvenience.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would be nice if I could shoot and upload the video right away.

Code in question is here: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/blob/3b3c5baaacd9177be4f854844a8823ef8aa29c3a/app/src/main/java/com/owncloud/android/ui/helpers/FileOperationsHelper.java#L1082

Due to the way Intents work in Android, only Photo or Video mode is available when invoked by us unless we jump through extra hoops.

It looks like the easiest way would be to either:

• add a second menu option and function like "Upload from Video Camera" (easiest/most straightforward and probably just fine)
• add a chooser that comes up after someone clicks "Upload from Camera" to choose either Image or Video mode (something like this or this)

I personally prefer the first approach.
