 Right now, when adding images to a post, you get an 'Insert Media' dialog
 (or 'media grid') where you can drag and drop files to upload. Perfect, so
 far.

 However, if you want to ''manually'' select some files via file chooser,
 you have to click another tab, and then click again on a button to launch
 the file chooser. If you use it a lot, that extra click can become a bit
 annoying.

 My proposal would be to remove that extra 'Upload Files' tab and just add
 a simple 'Select Files' button on top of the Media Grid dialog.

 See attached mockup.

 That would be self-explanatory and quicker to use, and we could get rid of
 the tabs.
