I think such things should be checked at the server side. I thought about it 
and extended the ACL mechanism a little bit.

We now have UPLOAD and DELETE permissions (the latter one includes the former 
as always). Now only users with DELETE permission are allowed to overwrite 
existing mediafiles (and as additon they can delete them as well). Overwrite 
protection was added with a simple checkbox.

Please note: the DELETE permission only affects the media files. Pages are 
deleted (moved to the attic) as always by emptying them.

TODO: the documentation needs to be adjusted. Volunteers?
