Allow minimal token support for upload location

Please add token support in upload_location

When uploading files to the temporary location, f.e. via a media form, but the entity does NOT get saved (meaning it does also not get moved by the module), the uploaded file will remain in the temporary directory. This leads to renaming of newly uploaded files that have the same name as the original, because there is already a file present with that name in the temporary location. So newly uploaded files will be renamed with a suffix like "_0". Sadly, also the moved files after saving the new entity will get that suffix, too.

To prevent that, the temporary directory could support tokens, to f.e. write the uploaded files to subdirectories based on timestamps. This would prevent the renaming of files on upload, if prior uploads were not successfull or submitted.

function filefield_paths_field_widget_form_alter(&$element, FormStateInterface $form_state, $context) {
// Force all File (Field) Paths uploads to go to the temporary file system
// prior to being processed.
if (isset($element['#type']) && $element['#type'] == 'managed_file') {
$settings = $context['items']->getFieldDefinition()
->getThirdPartySettings('filefield_paths');
if (isset($settings['enabled']) && $settings['enabled']) {
$element['#upload_location'] = \Drupal::token()->replace(\Drupal::config('filefield_paths.settings')->get('temp_location')); //SD
}
}
}
