Reposition alternate upload for firefox [need cross browser/OS/language test]

[Carreau]

This should bring the click area of the notebook upload more closer to the bold font in dashboard for firefox.

I don't considere it a real fix for #1806 as is also slightly shorten the area for other browser.
See also the discusion in #1739.

This include making some part of the click area more visible by changing the cursor when hovering it.

Pinging @fperez and @jenshnielsen.

I have a small technical concern :

The trick is done by overlaying a invisible "fileinput form" on top of 'click here'
But the fileinput form is made of a "input" field concatenated with a "browse" button.
I am affraid the width of the "Browse" (6 letters) button will change with language, for example in french it is a long button named "Parcourir" (9 letters)

I tested this on OS X Chrome and FF and it looks great.

@Carreau let's worry about that when we implement other languages - I am sure that there are many things we will have to change.

What I mean is that browse does not depend on us it depends on the user's system local (cf screen capture with opacity at 0.6 instead of 0) .
Right now in my system, I think that the size of the click area in my browser is bigger than if my system were in english.
Maybe russian Browse is only 2 letters wide...

That just something to keep in mind if people complain that the target area is smaller than click here.

Ahh, I understand now.

Confirming that it works very well for me, both with FF and chrome, on linux. As far as I'm concerned, go ahead and merge.
