Subject: [PATCH] feat(proto): extend AddMediaFile to accept file paths for
 streaming support

- Modify AddMediaFileRequest message to support both inline byte data and file path references
- Use oneof construct to ensure exactly one data source is provided (backward compatible)
- This enables memory-efficient streaming uploads for large media files on mobile clients
- Addresses issue #608: AnkiDroid OutOfMemoryError when adding large media files
