SynapseStorage.uploadFile

[jennijuju]

Done Criteria

The SynapseStorage class provides a convenience method to upload data from a specified file path. It reads the file content and uses the core SynapseStorage.upload logic.

Why Important

Offers a user-friendly way to upload data stored in local files without requiring manual byte handling.

Notes

1. This method will internally convert file content to byte blobs for the core upload process.
2. Subject to M1 constraints on file size (smallish blobs).

This is in filecoin-pin. We're going to expose a filecoin-pin library (as opposed to CLI & server) and I think this will belong in there as a UnixFS operation. We document in the Synapse docs how you go from blobs to files & directories by adding in filecoin-pin as a library to do this.
