[mod_python] How to do file uploads

See:

  http://webpython.codepoint.net/mod_python_publisher_file_upload
  http://webpython.codepoint.net/mod_python_publisher_big_file_upload

req.form only exists if you are using publisher. If not using
publisher, add to start of handler the code:

  req.form = util.FieldStorage(req)

to create it.
