Add request.FILES to wagtailforms form creation

See original GitHub issue

I would like to request we add request.FILES to the creation of custom forms.

Reasoning: It makes it much easier to extend the forms with features like file and image uploads, without having to override the whole serve method.

File: wagtail/wagtailforms/models.py Line 240 https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/blob/master/wagtail/wagtailforms/models.py#L240

Current form = self.get_form(request.POST, page=self, user=request.user)

Suggested form = self.get_form(request.POST, request.FILES, page=self, user=request.user)

I am happy to put through a pull request and check tests against this change, the request.FILES object will be empty when there are no files so it should not affect existing code.
