Public bug reported:

This bug is to request a feature freeze exception in order to land the
work done to enable file upload functionality in webbrowser-app and
webapp-container, both on desktop and on touch devices.

The relevant merge requests is https://code.launchpad.net/~michael-
sheldon/webbrowser-app/file-upload/+merge/212605.

It builds upon the work recently done in oxide to enable a filePicker
API (available as of oxide-qt 1.0.0~bzr490-0ubuntu1).

With this change, the app provides a dialog that allows content picking
for <input type="file"> tags in HTML pages. The dialog is different
based on the form factor: on desktop (unity7), a standard file picker is
displayed, whereas on devices (unity8) the content hub API is leveraged.

This change is required to enable web applications to upload files. Some
of the default webapps need this capability to be used properly (e.g.
attach a file to an e-mail in the GMail webapp, or send a picture in the
Facebook webapp).

The change itself is rather non-intrusive and has been thoroughly
tested, so the risk of introducing any sort of regressions is low.
