This allows us to deploy a public static page that does not require manually adding the `.pk3` files to the HTTP server's directory. This way the page can be used by regular people. Additionally, in the future this might simplify the development workflow of reviewing MRs, because this does not require downloading any files to run the preview build. The approach is taken from - https://github.com/jdarpinian/ioq3/blob/7801abd5ac510a889087ad62473c54dbe509e106/code/web/index.html#L614-L660 - https://github.com/WofWca/quake3.xdc/blob/be18795b56a0e408514e78201a731f38c1a92bc6/upload-full-version.html Co-authored-by: James Darpinian <[email protected]>
This simplifies navigating to the web version. You don't have to search and click the `ioquake3.html` file. This is especially useful for the GitHub pages deployment. The deployment workflows sort of expect `index.html` to be present. They usually print `.../ioq3/` as the final URL, but GitHub pages doesn't allow you to browse the files. It simply says `404` if there is no `index.html`. This commit should fix it.

The new page,
upload-game-files-to-cache.htmlin its current state only supportsbaseq3, but can be adjusted later to support Team Arena and the demo version of Quake III Arena or Team Arena. Maybe even with mods.Additionally, in the future this might simplify
the development workflow of reviewing MRs,
because this does not require downloading any files
to run the preview build.

The commits are self-contained and can be merged on-by-one (in sequence). I suggest a non-squash merge.
