Just a question: do we still need the AJAX destination filename check now that
we have the upload stash?

Converting the check to use the API in a sensible manner has proven to be quite
a challenge, and I suppose that's why it hasn't been done yet. Unlike
SpecialUpload::ajaxGetExistsWarning(), API modules return error codes and not
messages in the user's language. 

I suppose I could add a "warnings only" mode to the upload API, which would not
require uploading an actual file. Then, if it returns an error or warning code,
the script could make a second API request for the actual message text. There
ought to be a better way to load fully parsed messages such as
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Fileexists though.
