Telegram supports specifying files in many different formats. In order to
accommodate them all, there are multiple structs and type aliases required.
All of these types implement the `RequestFileData` interface.
| Type | Description |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `string` | Used as a local path to a file |
| `FilePath` | A local path to a file |
| `FileID` | Existing file ID on Telegram's servers |
| `FileURL` | URL to file, must be served with expected MIME type |
| `FileReader` | Use an `io.Reader` to provide a file. Lazily read to save memory. |
| `FileBytes` | `[]byte` containing file data. Prefer to use `FileReader` to save memory. |
## `string`
## `FilePath`
A path to a local file.
```go
file := "tests/image.jpg"
file := tgbotapi.FilePath("tests/image.jpg")
```
## `FileID`

First, we start by creating some `InputMediaPhoto`.

photo := tgbotapi.NewInputMediaPhoto("tests/image.jpg")
photo := tgbotapi.NewInputMediaPhoto(tgbotapi.FilePath("tests/image.jpg"))
url := tgbotapi.NewInputMediaPhoto(tgbotapi.FileURL("https://i.imgur.com/unQLJIb.jpg"))

upload, it names them the same way. This creates a nearly transparent way of
handling multiple files in the background without the user having to consider
what's going on.
## Library Processing
If at some point in the future new upload types are required, let's talk about
where the current types are used.
Upload types are defined in `configs.go`. Where possible, type aliases are
preferred. Structs can be used when multiple fields are required.
The main usage of the upload types happens in `UploadFiles`. It switches on each
file's type in order to determine how to upload it. Files that aren't uploaded
(file IDs, URLs) are converted back into strings and passed through as strings
into the correct field. Uploaded types are processed as needed (opening files,
etc.) and written into the form using a copy approach in a goroutine to reduce
memory usage.
In addition to `UploadFiles`, there's more processing of upload types in the
`prepareInputMediaParam` and `prepareInputMediaFile` functions. These look at
the `InputMedia` types to determine which files are uploaded and which are
passed through as strings. They only need to be aware of which files need to be
replaced with `attach://` fields.
