Specific media folders for collections

[aperep]

It would be awesome to specify its own media_folder for each collection.

Use case
A lot of collections consist of chunks of information of different nature with an image attached to each one.

Examples:

• carousel,
• partners' logos,
• testimonials,
• site specific collections.

Request
It is plausible to keep images for each collection in a separate folder. This will require either to specify a media_folder parameter for each collection separately, or to specify a folder to the field with a widget image.

This may be implemented as a part of #350. Keeping open for now.

It seems that #350 will take a lot of effort to come into reality.
May I bump my request to allow its own media folders for collections? It should be relatively simple. Maybe, I'll succeed to produce a viable pull request.

@aperep #350 came out just after your comment, ironically. We'd definitely like to move to asset collections soon after 1.0, which will be out in early December.

I envision asset collections being like content collections, and an image or file (or other external) widget can select from one or more collections as prescribed in the widget config. Is that about what you're thinking?

Closing in favor of #1046 since discussion is moving on that one.
