Instead of `model->load(...)`, we are using `UploadedFile::getInstance(...)`. [[\yii\web\UploadedFile|UploadedFile]]
does not run the model validation, rather it only provides information about the uploaded file. Therefore, you need to run the validation manually via `$model->validate()` to trigger the [[yii\validators\FileValidator|FileValidator]] that expects a file:

the attribute is an uploaded file, as you see in the core framework code:

return [$this->uploadRequired, []];

There are two differences from single file upload. First is that `UploadedFile::getInstances($model, 'file');` is used
instead of `UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'file');`. The former returns instances for **all** uploaded files while
the latter gives you only a single instance. The second difference is that we're doing `foreach` and saving each file.
