Currently duplicate uploads cause a validation error, which is very annoying in both Draft and Edit flow.

A better way to handle duplicates would be to just reuse existing records of files matching them by the hash.

It will be possible to:

  • upload the same image as a preview or featured image on different extensions;
  • upload the same image as an icon on different extensions;
  • select the same video/image multiple times (by mistake?) while adding previews on Draft or Edit page: first one will be saved, the rest of the duplicates will be ignored.

If all extensions referencing the file in any way are deleted, the file remains in the database: no thumbnail generating or scanning will happen if/when the file gets re-uploaded as a preview or featured image.
We could choose to implement some kind of clean up later, if this becomes a problem.

In all cases of re-upload File.user will not change: this shouldn't be a problem because currently there's no code relying on image ownership.

Version files will remain the only exception from this changed behaviour: it will only be possible to re-upload a version file once the version itself is deleted (which also deletes its file).

As a consequence of this change File.extension_id is dropped, because it is no longer possible to choose which extension should be saved there.

Should take care of #157
