Add file serialization support to the form component / use_form_data hook #60
Follow-up to #58 (the form component and use_form_data hook, which closed #7).
The form component's client-side interception currently serializes non-file fields only. File inputs (<input type="file">) are silently excluded because the submission handler iterates FormData entries and calls .toString() on each value, which for File objects yields [object File] and loses the file content.
The PR description for #58 explicitly deferred this:
Non-file fields only; file serialization is deferred.
Proposed scope
Support forms that contain file inputs, matching how the current behavior treats other input types. Possible options to evaluate:
Include file metadata (name, size, type, lastModified) in the serialized form data, without uploading file content — useful for validation/UI feedback on the server.
Defer file content upload to a separate multipart POST when the form is submitted, integrating with the router's navigation model.
Combination: send metadata for a GET-style/pushState navigation while supporting an optional file payload.
Acceptance criteria
Defining a form with one or more <input type="file"> fields does not break serialization of the other fields.
File fields are represented in the use_form_data() output in a well-defined way (currently undocumented behavior).
