Describe the feature you want to add

Hi, I recently moved from Postman to Bruno and noticed one of the features that was missing is the ability to upload a file as the request body. Having an ability for the user to select raw file as the body then a button that allows the user to pick a file to use would be helpful. I am currently using the fs and path npm packages in the script tab to fullfill this use case but think this feature would make Bruno easier to use. Thanks.

I checked to see if this Issue is already open and didn't find anything but please close if this is already open.

I don't mind working on this if needed. May take me a minute since I have mostly been working with Java recently. I've started looking over the code to understand the syntax that is being used and am finding the places I would need to implement the feature.

If someone else knows this repository better though and has the bandwidth then I'll let them pick it up.

I've started the implementation. I'll raise a PR if I finish or I'll let someone continue this if someone else picks it up:

Update on development: I have got the feature working. I set up the Google Drive API in GCP to test and I am able to upload documents. I checked in google drive for a docx and it still contains all the text and formatting from when I uploaded it. I'm thinking I'll center and enlarge the button for selecting a file then raise a pr.

Functionality that hasn't been added yet:

• Ability to convert raw files in other collection types like Insomnia and PostMan to raw file request body in Bruno. It will still convert over as no body.
• User still needs to manually enter the content type of the file and it isn't set automatically

These features can be added in the future unless suggested otherwise during PR review. I want to keep the PR small and easy to review.
