 Rich Text Editor Upload Images does not warn of existing file with same
 name and overwrites it causing data loss. Any prior articles that were
 using the prior image now have the new image instead of the old one. Not
 only does the RTE not prevent this from happening, it doesn't even warn
 the user that another file it out there with the same name.

 Issue description from customer:
 When users upload images, there does not appear to be any control over the
 filenames. Also, there is no control/tracking of what attachment is being
 used by what article, which makes the issue potentially more risky because
 files will pile up over time. If there is a file in the attachment
 directories with a given filename, and somebody uploads a file with the
 same name, there is no warning or restriction, the newly uploaded file
 simply overwrites the existing file. Now that filenames are a free-for-
 all, I think it is highly likely that we will encounter this issue going
 forward.
