Improve file upload UX with validation and uploaded files display

Enhanced the benefit forms file upload functionality to provide better
user feedback and visibility of uploaded files.

Changes:
1. Added file type validation in controller:
   - Only accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, PNG formats
   - Shows clear error message with the rejected file extension

2. Added file size validation:
   - Maximum 10MB file size limit
   - Shows file size in error message if exceeded

3. Improved success/error messages:
   - Shows specific filename on successful upload
   - Shows detailed error messages for validation failures

4. Added uploaded files display section:
   - Lists all uploaded files with icons based on file type
   - Shows file size and upload timestamp
   - Provides download button for each file
   - Only displays when files exist

Before: Users received generic "Something went wrong" message with no
indication of why uploads failed. No way to see uploaded files.

After: Clear validation feedback tells users exactly what went wrong
(wrong format, too large, etc.) and uploaded files are visible with
download links.
