Replacement for Flash-based multi-uploader

In Release 2.6 and earlier, AtoM's "Upload multiple digital objects" workflow (documentation here) relied on a Flash-based uploader utility. As of December 2020, Flash has been deprecated and is now formally no longer supported in all major browsers.

The 2.6.3 release will include a new multi-uploader, using Uppy as the base library.
