feat: Avoid Duplicates

[bfourgeaud]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

It would be great if it was possible to avoid duplicate files. If I upload an image that already exists in the database (check hash for example, or set a custom_id), uploadthing would return the data of that already existing file instead of uploading it again.

Describe the solution you'd like to see

Maybe an option in the FileRouterInputConfig and add a property overwrite: boolean
Or setting a custom metadata on each file with a custom hash that we would calculate on everyfile before uploading. And uploadthing would match existing files based on that metadata.hash

This is planned, but not sure how high up on the priority list.
