block/type/image should allow image_url to reference an uploaded file to Slack without having to make it public #1444

Description

(Describe your issue and goal here)

This should work:

  1. upload an image with client.files_upload_v2(), do not want it to be visible in a channel
  2. chat_postMessage(blocks=type: image, image_url: file.private_url ...)

This currently doesn't work unless the file/image is made public via client.files_sharedPublicURL(), but enabling public files is not an option in many organisations. Additionally one shouldn't have to construct urls by extracting pub_secret from file/permalink_public.

Given that slack client can show uploaded images (even when they are not public), it should also work with blocks/type/image.
