Remove files.upload in favor of files.getUploadURLExternal, etc.
The current README file (as of opening this issue) references the client.files_upload method to upload files. Under the hood, this uses the files.upload endpoint which has been deprecated by Slack: https://api.slack.com/changelog/2024-04-a-better-way-to-upload-files-is-here-to-stay
The article that I linked above describes the migration path, but it only has code samples for JS, Python and Java.
What is the recommended way to use the files.getUploadURLExternal endpoint with this client?
In particular, I can see that the response of the files.getUploadURLExternal invocation contains a link which Slack expects me (the client) to make a POST request to. That means I'd have to open and maintain my own HTTP client (Faraday etc.) on top of this library's Slack client. That seems a bit overkill, is there a better way?
Sounds like we need to remove files_upload (maybe be coming in via #509 already) and reimplement something similar to Python's files_upload_v2. Want to give it a shot @gregorbg?
We just hit this issue after having to regenerate new "Modern Apps" (via a Legacy Bot) as part of a deprecation notice remediation and now are unable to use the files_upload feature without Slack::Web::Api::Errors::MethodDeprecated errors, since any new bots do not have access.
