Refactor to upload files & generate site when user clicks "Continue" instead of on file change.

Follow-up

Allow adding more files before "Continue" https://github.com/webrecorder/wacz-uploader/issues/14

My original intention for this was to have the files upload in the background as the user adds metadata to them, that way once they're finished doing that there's no extra waiting period (or hopefully less of one) as the rest of the site is generated. This (ideally) reduces the indeterminate waiting time and gives people something to do instead of idly waiting for files to upload?

Ultimately that's not what was previously implemented and users had to wait for file details to edit them which wasn't as good as this implementation. I'm fine with this for an MVP if it speeds up the release.
