Description

Currently, the WPWebChromeClient does not perform an action when it receives a file chooser request. Extend the capabilities with the use of onShowFileChooser.

This is called to handle HTML forms with 'file' input type, in response to a user pressing the "Select File" button.

Research direction

Read the Android WebChromeClient onShowFileChooser contract and trace how file chooser requests are represented; done means HTML forms with an input type of file open a chooser and the selected result is delivered correctly.
