@gilv I mean to get rid all `case AttExternal of "external" -> ...; _ ->
... end` and instead have some function(s) with two clauses: one to process
attachments stored inside db file and other - in some external storage. This
makes logic of processing internal and external attachments separated, clean
and easy to track. This also helps to avoid situations like [this
one](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-chttpd/pull/82/files#r41985231) when
depending on attachment type.
