feat(client): createUploadClient returns { upload, useUpload }

[abhay-ramesh]

Summary

createUploadClient now returns { upload, useUpload } instead of just the proxy, so you can define everything once and use it without repeating the router type in every component.

Before

// lib/upload.ts
export const upload = createUploadClient<AppRouter>({ endpoint: '/api/upload' });

// Every component — generic needed every time
const { uploadFiles } = useUpload<AppRouter>('imageUpload');

After

// lib/upload.ts — define once, type baked in
export const { upload, useUpload } = createUploadClient<AppRouter>({ endpoint: '/api/upload' });

// Every component — no generic, route name is still type-safe
const { uploadFiles } = useUpload('imageUpload');

// Proxy style still works too
const { uploadFiles } = upload.imageUpload();

Test plan

• All 156 tests pass
• Type-check passes
• useUpload route name argument is fully type-safe (autocomplete + error on unknown routes)
• Old upload.routeName() proxy still works unchanged
