Backpack admin interface for files and folder, using [barryvdh/laravel-elfinder](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-elfinder). This package *literally* just:

- creates a `public/uploads` folder;
- installs `barryvdh/laravel-elfinder`;
- publishes an elFinder config and view, for elFinder to play nice with Backpack;
- adds a menu item to the sidebar;
