Description
Currently uploading a GLTF mesh (that has applied materials) gives both an 'Upload Model' floater and an 'Upload Material' floater.
This can appear messy and confusing.
An updated GLTF model floater should ideally include both the mesh and material information.
Depending on the viewers window size, it is also possible for a material upload dialog to be completely hidden as shown in https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/4108
Test Plan
- Upload a GLTF model with a single material
- Upload a GLTF model with more than one material

Research direction
Reproduce the two test cases by uploading GLTF models with one and multiple materials, then inspect the existing Upload Model and Upload Material floaters and their interaction. Done means the model floater presents both mesh and material information without a separate confusing or hidden material dialog.
