Create a media upload POST

Register a standalone image or video and receive a signed target to upload it to. Uploading takes three calls: 1. `POST /media` — declare the file and get back an `upload` target. 2. `POST` the file to `upload.url` as `multipart/form-data`, appending every entry of `upload.fields` **before** the `file` part. 3. `POST /media/{mediaId}/finalize` — confirm the bytes landed. When `upload` comes back `null`, Snapvisor already holds this exact file and steps 2 and 3 are unnecessary. Pass `prNumber` when the pull request already exists, or `branch` when it does not. A media uploaded against a branch is **staged**: it has its share URL immediately, and the moment a pull request opens for that branch Snapvisor attaches it and posts the comment — nothing has to come back and connect the two. Use it when you have a standalone screenshot or screen recording, outside a CI build, to attach to a branch or pull request.

Update a staged media PATCH

Change a staged media's name, description or branch. Staged media only. A media's name and branch are its identity — what decides whether the next upload of that name is a new version or a new media, and which pull request will publish it — and once it is published that identity is what the pull request comment is built from and what a reviewer's comments hang off. Editing it there would rewrite history rather than correct a staged media. Omitted fields are left alone. `description` and `branch` accept `null` to clear them; `name` is required and has no cleared state. Clearing a staged media's branch leaves it attached to nothing, so no pull request will ever publish it. Use it to correct a staged media's name, description or branch before a pull request publishes it.
