Description
Quite some time ago we get a report for geckodriver that uploading a folder doesn't work. Hereby the relevant code didn't specify a list of files as required by the WebDriver specification for Element Send Keys, but just the folder name.
As also mentioned chromedriver supports that method and as such adds extra behavior on top of the WebDriver specification which other drivers like at least geckodriver doesn't do.
For a consistent behavior across browsers we should most likely support a unique behavior.

Research direction
Read the WebDriver specification's Element Send Keys section and compare its required file-list behavior with the geckodriver report in issue 1788 and chromedriver's behavior. Done means the specification clearly defines one consistent behavior for uploading a folder via Element Send Keys.
