Added macro's

Uploaded file

• Directly save an uploaded file to the cloud. A new method saveToCloud is added to Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile.

string saveToCloud(string $folder, string $disk = null)

This method returns the URL of the file. When the file is saved to a local disk, a relative path is returned in stead of a complete URL.
