Can't upload assets using the user:profile_form

[robdekort]

Bug description

I have an asset field in my user blueprint, but I can't seem to upload assets currently using the user:profile_form. There's nothing in the docs that suggest this ain't possible, but it seems this might be an oversight.

How to reproduce

1. Create a user account form
2. Add an assets field
3. Fail to make it work

I just read up on this: statamic/cms#6400

That separate PR never came though.

Fwiw: I'd expect the assets field in a user form to add to add files to the field, not wipe 'm, prolly. Prolly not, I guess it should replace but you'd need to implement a JS based solution on the frontend to handle the new and old files.

Anyways, I guess it should either be supported or the docs should be changed. Leaving it to you. I'll go back to the drawing board as I need some solution in some way.

We should probably support assets here at some point, but it's not really a bug so I've moved it to the ideas repository for the time being.

I've also added a note to the docs to make it clearer.
