Description
Currently, ajax forms are submitted using serializeArray. This doesn't allow sending more advanced content, like a file upload
Manual testing steps
With this change, files are submitted properly. It also offers the opportunity to do more advanced things (eg: sending binary canvas data as a blob) and, all things considered, should probably work better because it uses a native js feature instead of jquery serializeArray
