FLUID-3753: Redesign the manual switching from Flash to Simple uploader

Description

If the user has Flash installed but prefers to use a non-Flash version of the Uploader, a mechanism should be provided to allow them to do so.

In v1.2, it exists as a "Switch to the standard single-file uploader." link.

  Thought about this a bit. The reason why someone would care about the non-Flash version would be because:
  1. They have accessibility needs.
  2. They prefer not using Flash.

  Therefore, the text should address both of these.

  The suggested text is "Simple (non-Flash) version available." which addresses both I think.

  Kicking around ideas:

  Current text: "Switch to the standard single-file uploader."

  Why?

  • improved accessibility for screen readers and keyboard users.
  • user preference - they don't like Flash

  Possibilities:

  "Switch to non-Flash version."
  "Having issues? Switch to simple non-Flash version."
  "Simple (non-Flash) version available."

  "Prefer a simpler version? Try this."
  "Try the simpler version if you like."
  "Want something simpler? Try this."

  Changed strings for switching to and from simple to flash uploader.

  CLOSED: The link at the top of the Uploader is no longer needed as progressive enhancement is in place. See FLUID-3872 for details.
