Micropub: accept an inline photo file in the create request

Deferred from #131. v1 Micropub attaches a Photo by referencing a
media-endpoint URL only; POST /micropub stays JSON / urlencoded, and the
media-endpoint is advertised in q=config so compliant clients upload there
first.

Micropub also permits inlining the photo as a file part in a
multipart/form-data create to /micropub (many phone clients do this and never
touch a media endpoint). Supporting it means /micropub grows a multipart path.

Why deferred: the media endpoint already covers well-behaved clients, and the
web editor covers "just pick a file". Per ADR-0019 this is a thin third adapter
over the same create Media op, not new storage logic, so it's cheap to add later.

Signal to revisit: a Micropub client people actually use can only inline
photos and can't attach one via the media endpoint.
