Feature: Load board from file

[adrian1001]

The data of a board can already be downloaded.
Now, if there was a function to upload/import, this would allow for:

• User-controlled backups (accidential clear)
• Merge a drawing into another whiteboard
• Transfer a drawing to another server
• Implicitly: renaming whiteboards
• archival (?)

I'd like to add that uploading images would be a great feature (e.g. for playing arbitrary board games online)

@kaiyazeera : Loading images is a different topic. See #42

Thank you lovasoa, for your awesome work !
Yes I would also like these two features to be implemented as soon as possible.
Together with native Jitsi-Meet integration this would be a perfect tool for online courses.
As a first step, can you please help me to move my board from your ophir server to my self-hosted instance ?
Is there any way to convert the downloaded svg file to a json so I can access the board on my self-hosted wbo ?

To download a board you replace "boards" with "download" in its url:

https://wbo.ophir.dev/boards/test

https://wbo.ophir.dev/download/test

And you place the resulting file in server-data with a name of board-test.json

I hope to have a fork function, so that I can continue drawing on someone else's whiteboard without changing the original one.
