Put a file into Elaichi

POST /file

One request, for a backend that holds a session or an API token, and for the console’s Files screen (which uses it for **Upload**). Two forms, told apart by `X-Filename` (or `?filename=`): - **With it, the body is the file** (`Content-Type` is the declared type, `Content-Length` is required, at most 95 MiB). Streamed straight into storage with the size counted on the bytes actually read, so a header that lies is caught mid-stream and nothing is kept. `411` `upload_length_required` without a length, `413` `upload_too_large` over the limit. A raw upload of a JSON file sends `X-Filename`, so it is never taken for the second form. - **Without it, the body is JSON** `{ filename, content, encoding: utf8 | base64, mime? }` for content the client wrote itself, at most 1 MiB of decoded content (`413` `inline_content_too_large`; the body is never buffered past that, whatever it declares). Either way the answer is `201 { file }`, the file as `GET /file/{id}` reads it, owned by the caller and kept for 7 days. The stored type is read from the bytes, never taken from the declaration. `origin` is `upload` for a person’s session, `api` for a token. Audited as `file.uploaded`.
