Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When uploading large(ish) files in Janeway, the user receives no feedback while the upload is taking place.
Describe the solution you'd like
A progress bar to be rendered when a user is uploading a file.
Additional context
Foundation provides a progress bar component that we can use: https://get.foundation/sites/docs/progress-bar.html
Ideally, for reusability, we should write a Django widget that can be used in conjunction with Janeway's File model through a Django FormField.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Janeway's Django File model and FormField usage, then compare the requested UI with Foundation's progress bar documentation. Done means a reusable Django widget renders upload progress and works with the File model through a FormField.
