Upload page: auto-upload and a 5x3 progress grid

- Files upload as soon as they are dropped or selected; a sequential
  queue processes them and picks up files added while uploading
- The progress list is now a grid: 5 columns with about three rows
  visible (scrolls beyond) showing thumbnails, per-file progress bars
  and status; 'clear finished' remains, object URLs are revoked
- Videos show an icon instead of a thumbnail
