Feature request: allow butler to upload single files without packaging them in zip file

It would be really nice if butler could upload already-packaged files without repackaging them as zip files.

In particular, I want to use .AppImage files for Linux, as I feel that this provides a better use experience.  I could put these files in zip files, but that makes them less convenient for the end user.  I could also upload them through the web interface, but that makes things a lot less convenient for me.  (Building, packaging, and uploading my game is a single step for my build system.  Having to manually go through the web interface add lots of additional steps that are easy to mess up.)

Actually, it looks like this is already working (although I didn't see it in the documentation when I last read it.).  So, never mind.

Yeah, AppImage uploads were fixed quite recently! Here's the relevant commit. (Uploads were already working as intended, but self-contained Linux binaries weren't working properly - it's a pretty rare case so it slipped through the tracks of initial testing).

It originally did not support sending pre-zipped files, but we changed that after we got a few requests. If you remember any conflicting info in the docs feel free to tell me and I can update it.
