Use 3rd party upload service for bigger files

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

GitHub is understandably moderate with file sizes and types it allows to upload.

However, it would be possible to use third party upload services to host bigger files. For example it could use CKBox.

Obviously it would work only after providing a proper token/signing in.

Example scenarios

Unauthenticated user

1. Edits an issue in GH.
2. Drops a 200mb screencast (simply a high res, or slightly longer vid - I hit it all the time 😂).
3. User gets a notification (alert, whatever) that GH doesn't handle such files but you can use xyz integration (link for reading more) and link to quickly to settings and enter token/sign in.

Authenticated user

1. Edits an issue in GH.
2. Drops a 200mb screencast.
3. Extension sees that it's larger file than allowed by GH but the user is signed in so it uploads it to CKBox 🎉

Entire process would be seamless to the user.
