Endpoint for uploading a Raw File

[shrik450]

Feature Description

There is already an endpoint for downloading raw files, i.e. the binary content of the file directly from the server: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}

However, to change or upload files, you must use the content APIs which require you to base64 encode the file first and then submit it via a JSON request. With files larger than a megabyte, the overhead of base64 encoding the file starts to become untenable, and doing so while streaming a file is non-trivial. This is especially an issue because the files you'd want to automatically upload via the API tend to be large.

I think there should be a counterpart to the raw file GET API that allows uploading the binary content of a file directly as a FormData instead. Ideally, this could just be POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}.

yes, uploading with base64 is quite inconvenient.
