File upload or URL grab functionality for metadata converter (was #282)

Hi,

The current Metadata Converter interface is a large textarea. This works
fine for small sets of metadata, but some federations have sets that exceed
the 200kB. This is problematic to easily copy-paste. Besides that, making
large POST requests in this way can lead to errors when the PHP Suhosin
module is installed.

I would like to have a file upload field where I can upload the metadata
file. An alternative may be an URL-grab feature where you paste the URL of
the metadata you want to parse, but this may have some unforeseen security
implications, so may perhaps not be a great idea.

Here's the patch I use locally to upload metadata from a file instead of having to open the file, copy-paste the data and close the file. This works much better with larger files of metadata.

The patch is against current trunk.
