Description
Tiled gallery block allows drop-uploading and uploading via the button below images.

We should check if the user has upload permissions before offering those methods. Otherwise, they can try but uploads would just fail.

Research direction
Start at the Tiled gallery block's drop-upload and upload-button paths, then read the linked Gutenberg documentation for hasUploadPermissions. Confirm how the block currently offers these methods and verify that users without upload permission no longer see them, while permitted users retain both upload options.
