Capture static files from inflight closures

Feature Spec

It is now possible to reference local files from inflight:

bring cloud;
bring fs;

let files = Map<fs.File>{};

for file in fs.read_dir("./my-files") {
  files[file.name] = new fs.File(file.path);
}

let bucket = new cloud.Bucket();

new cloud.Function(inflight () => {
  for k in files.keys() {
    bucket.put(k, files.get(k));
  }
}) as "populate";

Since we are capturing the map files which contains a bunch of fs.File objects, Wing will take care of bundling the contents of these files into the inflight bundle so they can be used at runtime.

Start by tracing how inflight closures capture values and how fs.File objects are represented during bundling. Then inspect the existing cloud.Function and file-handling entry points to determine where static contents should be collected. Done means files referenced through captured maps are available at runtime in the inflight bundle, with coverage for the provided example.
