ui/project_form: Improve file handling in UI

- Enhance file input handling in the UI to avoid losing selected files when adding new inputs.
- Introduce a `selectedFiles` array to store and manage selected files.
- Display selected files in the UI with additional features, including a delete button.
- Update the `removeFile` function to correctly remove files from both the UI and the `selectedFiles` array.

Fixes: #991
