Refactor Form Submission Logic and Improve File Handling

- Updated `FormController.php` to correct the file path concatenation for temporary file retrieval, enhancing clarity in file management.
- Modified `FormSubmissionResource.php` to improve the filtering logic for file fields, ensuring only valid files are processed.
- Streamlined the constructor in `StoreFormSubmissionJob.php` for better readability and consistency.
- Enhanced file handling in `StoreFormSubmissionJob.php` by refining the logic for moving files from temporary to permanent storage, ensuring accurate file management.
- Improved the `FormSubmissionFormatter.php` to handle file URLs more robustly with error handling for signed routes.
- Updated `PartialSubmissionTest.php` to remove the hardcoded success message, improving test reliability.
- Refactored `OpenFormField.vue` to simplify the disabled state logic for form fields, enhancing maintainability.
- Adjusted `usePartialSubmission.js` to improve the synchronization mechanism during visibility changes, ensuring data integrity.

These changes aim to enhance the overall functionality, maintainability, and reliability of the form submission process and file handling logic.
