Describe the bug

The .upload_file() function fails to authenticate and raises KeyError.

Also this issue would of been easier to diagnose if revolt.http.upload_file had proper HTTP error handling or used response.raise_for_status after its main checks to prevent rouge/unexpected errors.

To Reproduce

The command below reliably produces the error.

@commands.command()
async def image_test(self, ctx: commands.Context):

  with open("image.png", "rb") as f:
    file = await ctx.client.upload_file(revolt.File(f.read()), "attachments")

    await ctx.message.reply(file.id)

Expected behavior

The file to be uploaded without an authentication error.
