Bug ID: 65405
Summary: The "process the upload" backend code should have
flags to say "do not overwrite" and "overwrite only"

In Bug 65338, it turned out (and was proven) that the API allows overwriting
files despite ignorewarnings is not set in race conditions:
Brad Jorsch:
> There's a race condition in the uploading code: it first checks for warnings
> and then processes the upload, and what's happening here is that one of your
> parallel requests is sneaking in an upload between the "check for warnings"
> and "process the upload" steps.
And it is suggested to have some flags in the backend preventing that:
> If the "process the upload" backend code were to have flags to say "do not
> overwrite" and "overwrite only", we could use that from the API code to fix
> this race condition.
