When an uploads fails, provide more info in the error messages than "there was a problem with your submission".

We have added more detailed error messages for when an upload fails for one of the following reasons:

File submitted when submission window closed
File submitted for collection that is no longer active
User does not have a submitter role for organisation
User isn't authenticated

We are looking into options for how to make validation feedback more detailed and easily understood, however this is a longer-term piece of work.
