Description
Right now we enable administrators to, at the command line, upload officers in bulk via a CSV import: https://github.com/lucyparsons/OpenOversight/blob/develop/OpenOversight/app/commands.py#L341
We should enable admins and area coordinators of a given department (but only the department they are area coordinator of) to upload a CSV via the web application.

Research direction
Start with the bulk-upload implementation in OpenOversight/app/commands.py around line 341, then trace the web application’s upload flow and permission checks. Done means administrators and area coordinators can upload officer CSVs through the web app, while coordinators are restricted to their own department.
