Description
Instead of timing out thru the regular 5-second rule, we should show "uploading" and allow more time to complete.
Comparison to v3
v3 use a timeout value of 20 for all messages (including attachments). It will fail about 20 seconds after the upload. And it does not show "uploading".
To-do
- Identify file upload and say "Uploading" instead of "Sending"
- Timeout using a different setting (120 seconds vs. 20 seconds)
- Show progress bar

Research direction
Start by tracing the web chat's attachment upload flow and compare its handling with the v3 behavior described in the issue. Confirm the current 5-second sending timeout and identify where attachment status is rendered. Done means uploads show "Uploading," use the requested longer timeout, and display a progress bar without timing out prematurely.
