[feature] Support file uploads via blogapi

well, it does use the file api for the parts that the file api supports.
however, the file is not received via an http upload ... it is base64
encoded in the xmlrpc call -- meaning we need to create the file from a
string. this patch honours file.inc's temp dir setting to temporarily
store the file, then uses file_move() to put it in the proper location.
it will not work directly with file.inc until file.inc has something
like: file_save($dest, $data).

Support the file upload features of metaweblog API. w.bloggar is one
good client for testing this.

This patch should use the file system functionality exported by
file.inc.  Storing uploaded files to /tmp is not a practical nor a
durable solution.  Take a look at how the project module manages file
uploads, or how the profile module handles avatars.
