[Seaside] Using nginx file upload module

[Nick Ager]

Hi,

I've updated the nginx file-upload code - removing the need for an ajax
round-trip after each upload. I've also revisited the API, making it a
little more consistent with other Seaside component APIs.

As ever you try out the component in the (interactive) blog post:
http://nickager.com/blog/file-upload-using-Nginx-and-Seaside which describes
the component.

The source is available: http://www.squeaksource.com/NginxFileUpload

Apologies if you tried the component before and hit problems - a last-minute
"improvement" slipped through which broke rendering after uploading!

Feedback always appreciated,

Nick
