Files initialization does not normalize the _FILES array completely

[proggeler]

When one or more files are sent using a file input with a "simple" name, the Files class contains a normalized array, where each leave is a (so called) target array.

// <input type="file" name="photo[]" multiple>
[
    'photo' => [
        0 => [
            'error' => 0,
            'name' => 'photo-1.jpg',
            'size' => 190912,
            'tmp_name' => '/tmp/phphjLCGX',
            'type' => 'image/jpeg',
        ],
        1 => [ /* the next photo entry */ ],
    ]
]

When the name of the file input references an array key, I would expect all leaves are a target to.
That is not true, it stores the data as follows:

// <input type="file" name="user[photo][]" multiple>
[
    'user' => [
        'photo' => [
            'error' => [
                0 => 0,
                1 => 0,
            ],
            'name' => [
                0 => 'photo-1.jpg',
                1 => 'photo-2.png',
            ],
            'size' => [
                0 => 190912,
                1 => 190912,
            ],
            'tmp_name' => [
                0 => '/tmp/phphjLCGX',
                1 => '/tmp/phpH7JvcD',
            ],
            'type' => [
                0 => 'image/jpeg',
                1 => 'image/png',
            ],
        ],
    ],
]

I would expect this to be:

[
    'user' => [
        'photo' => [
            0 => [
                'error' => 0,
                'name' => 'photo-1.jpg',
                'size' => 190912,
                'tmp_name' => '/tmp/phphjLCGX',
                'type' => 'image/jpeg',
            ],
            1 => [
                'error' => 0,
                'name' => 'photo-2.png',
                'size' => 190912,
                'tmp_name' => '/tmp/phpH7JvcD',
                'type' => 'image/png',
            ],
        ],
    ]
]

If this get fixed, this will be a breaking change for current implementations.
(if you need assistance fixing this, maybe you can setup a 3.x branch for me as a starting point for development)

As I am not using Aura for the current time, I don't have enough time to maintain a newer version of Aura.Web ( 3.x ... ) .

Instead I would recommend people to go for the newer ones by @pmjones : https://github.com/sapienphp .

Here, I just want to make sure the packages can be installed in newer versions of PHP .
