[Bug 17125] Add a FileList.drop(index) method

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17125

An alternative approach that would solve the same problem would be allowing
assignment of File objects to the file input element.

That way a developer could programatically split a multi input element to
multiple single input elements.

This would also solve the additional problem that File objects today can also
be obtained via Drag and Drop but cannot be assigned to an input meaning you
have to "go all the way" and use XHR2 to do an upload of dragged files.

Given that a File object can only be created by the Browser there should be no
security drawbacks in allowing assignment to file inputs.
