No way in the UI to upload a pipeline from the cluster itself

[lakshmanok]

So, I used the Jupyter notebook to create a pipeline.tar.gz. Unfortunately, there is no way to upload it using the UI.

(I can of course do it from Python, but the UI needs to allow uploading a file from the cluster).

I get the feeling of disconnect between the notebook and our UI, but I don't think there's much we can do there unfortunately. The two UIs runs in separate pods with potentially different authorization roles.

I think a better approach would be exploring adding a custom Jupyter widget to interact with the Pipelines backend. This can handle uploading pipelines, submitting runs, and perhaps even linking the current open notebook with a run on the backend, and providing a link to see it in the Pipelines UI. I can see this become very handy.

A quicker option might be to allow the user to specify a gs://.../ or http://.../ URL to load the pipeline from. This would also be useful to load directly from an AI Hub listing.

Agreed, we're planning to add an "import by url" feature in the upload dialog.

#554 adds ability to import by url. Closing this since it's not tracking anything else. We can continue the discussion if @lakshmanok feels otherwise.
