Bug ID: 65070
Summary: GWToolset should have an option to not rename files

Split from bug 62909.
If the file title has illegal characters (such as UTF, or « # »), they are
automatically replaced.
This is fine as a default behaviour, as most users do not really care what the
file name might be and just want to get the files uploaded.
Some users may not be happy with that though, because they want to match
original file names to the Commons file name.
To quote Kelson’s bug report from the previous bug:
(Report Kelson [Emmanuel Engelhart] from comment #10)
> Things seem to me to work better now, but transforming auto. titles with
> illegal characters is IMO not a good approach. The reason is that there is
> no way to track these files (after transformation). Why not simply checking
> this just after the XML upload and telling that something is wrong with the
> titles (and listing them)?
