1. Add an additional form field that uses RadioSelect[a] to allow the
user to choose an existing image. (Each RadioSelect choice would be an
existing image)
2. Add some form logic[b] that allows the user to either upload a new image
or select an existing image. If both form fields are filled out, raise
a ValidationError
