Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm developing an application that should show a web browser with very limited interaction possibilities. So far, disabling the context menus, preventing camera/microphone access etc. is possible, but at the moment I cannot prevent file uploads.

Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered
For me a very simple API, e.g. ICoreWebView2Settings::put_AreFileUploadsEnabled(BOOL ...) would be sufficient. I'm aware that in #1479 a similar request is being made, but maybe this very simple API could make it into the product earlier.

Similarly, being able to disable Drag&Drop like requested in #278 in a very simple manner, e.g. ICoreWebView2Settings::put_IsDragAndDropEnabled(BOOL ...), would be fantastic.

Research direction

Start by reviewing related requests #1479 and #278, then determine how the proposed settings APIs should control file uploads and drag-and-drop. Done means the product has a decided, documented way to disable the requested interactions through the WebView2 settings API.
