Add a way to determine if local file uploads are allowed via the MediaWiki API

Wikimedia

The popular wiki platform, MediaWiki has a web service API which is used by various software tools, including automated "bots", to interact with a wiki programmatically.

Your task is to allow API users to figure out whether image and media uploading is enabled on a particular MediaWiki site, by adding an extra field to the siteinfo API (see example of what this API currently returns). More details are at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72075

MediaWiki code can be found in the mediawiki/core Git repository. Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit for more details on submitting your code and the review process.
