Description

SelectFileWidget with drop target as of v0.19.1 is (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/337534/ & https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/337540/ currently under way) the last widget using a color (#eee) not part of the WikimediaUI color palette M82.

Expected solution:
Align SelectFileWidget with drop target to the color palette and to UX patterns elsewhere and finalize turning fixed color values into variables in MediaWiki theme.

Another take of the widget in proposed action at the Media Upload dialog.

In the proposed solution the drop area is not greyed out, but a normal background similar to a TextInputWidget. On drop it turns light blue similar to :active menu item on a soft transition.
Feedback welcome!

The highlight works well.
My only concern was the area being less noticeable, but with the more realistic example (F5627908) seems it may still work.

@Pginer-WMF Thanks. I was a bit concerned about it as well, due to the button in the center, the distinct dashed border-style and somewhat similarity to other widgets like TextInputWidget, I'm pretty convinced it's sufficient. Let's revisit in case of opposing voices.

One minor thing, that we could consider, is if we gonna change the cursor (on desktop) on drop target :hover to pointer as clicking is bound to action of opening the upload file dialog and it might be clearer that there is an action bound when the cursor is set to pointer.
