If so, what are the allowed file types we want to support?

Could make sense to allow either a single normal file, either a compressed tgz file?
So, if we upload a compressed file, we will decompress it when running the profile to be used during the autoinstallation and we will store it in database as a single file too.
We can then avoid thinking about allowed file types and so on, being more flexible.

This RFC proposes extending the autoinstallation profile mechanism to support multiple files per profile and storing them in the database (instead of relying on Cobbler).
