[issue42004] Allow uploading files with SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

[Javier Ayres]

New submission from Javier Ayres :

Hello. I'm a big fan of the http.server module to quickly serve some files in a 
local network with `python3 -m http.server`. I regularly needed to get some 
files from other people too, but getting everyone to install/run python3 was 
not such a simple task. Eventually I wrote a subclass of 
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler that added a form with a file input and accepted POST 
requests, so people could also upload files to my computer. I think this would 
be a fine addition to SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, so I'm attaching a potential 
patch that implements this and adds a new cli parameter so this feature is only 
enabled explicitly.

[issue42004] Allow uploading files with SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

I see. To be honest I didn't know FieldStorage at all, it was the best way I 
found of dealing with file data in requests using just the standard library. If 
you think this feature makes sense and it could be included, I could look into 
removing the FieldStorage dependency.
