Summary

This PR refactors the file picker component in the form engine to align with standard input design and improve functionality. The handleFilePickerChange function now supports multiple file selections, allowing users to upload multiple files by appending them to the existing value using the field.questionOptions.allowMultiple configuration. The component also displays previews for all selected files, integrates camera capture functionality with live preview and upload options, and addresses previous limitations in file selection and usability, ensuring a consistent and enhanced user experience.

Thanks for the PR @suubi-joshua! Just a couple of concerns:

1. Can you attach screenshots or a short video as a visual aid for the reviewers?
2. Can you add unit tests for your changes?

@samuelmale should the uploads from the file components show up in the attachments preview section?

@suubi-joshua By attachments preview section do you mean the "Attachments dashboard" on the patient chart? If so, yes! and I believe that's already working.

If you meant a backed-in preview (within the form) on file selection; Yes! Right now, there is no preview of the uploaded file. In a context where we have multiple selections, we can't preview all the selected files at once; we could do something like:

Alternatively, we could seek UX advisory

Generally, we need to refine the UX of our file picker for more practicality.

@samuelmale thanks for that clarification, I needed clarification on both previews.

@samuelmale happy new year this brings a new thought in my mind. Can we consider refactoring this to have it function the way the visit-note form works
Have one button which can say Upload file, the button launches the attachments modal.

I like the idea and agree we need to refactor and refine the entire UX; can you seek UX advisory?
