Enhancement: Rest API should allow submit of multiple Binary files with different names

[DeanGonzalez]

Tested on Master on 1/31/18

I just tested this issue: #11613

I noticed that when you upload multiple binary files, that they all get the same filename as shown in the picture below:

Right now the fileName parameter is not only naming the file, but also the names of ALL the binary files uploaded with the same name.

curl -v -u [email protected]:admin -XPUT http://localhost:8080/api/content/publish/1 -F "json={stName:'fileAsset',hostFolder:'demo.dotcms.com:/images',title:'test7',binary_fields:'newBinary,fileAsset',fileName:'myFileName.jpg'};type=application/json" -F "[email protected];type=application/jpg" -F "[email protected];type=application/jpg"

Suggestion for Enhancement:
We should add another parameter, just like the "binary_fields" parameter that is comma separated above to determine the order of the binary upload. We could name the parameter something like "binary_field_names" which permits a comma separated list of the names of the binary files on upload.

This way the file names can be controlled via api on submit.
