Make File Entities revisionable

Problem/Motivation

Many people have asked for the File entity in Drupal to support revisions. This makes sense for a number of reasons. Most well-used digital asset management systems support this idea. One major reason is because working with Files in a complex manner requires some type of workflow and you can't have a workflow without revisions.

Proposed resolution

Currently File extends ContentEntityBase but there is no vid in the file_managed table. The File entity schema will need to be changed in order to support this, adding a vid column.

Remaining tasks

Rewrite Drupal\file\Entity to support revisions.
