Attach pdf, zip, and other files in the Content Editor

Release notes

Problem to solve

The Content Editor allows you (or at least it will) to upload images to the body of the page content. In the Wiki and in Issues, it's possible to attach .zip, .pdf, .doc, and many other binary files.

Proposal

Extend the Content Editor to support attached files. These files will render as a link and open up in a new tab (or initiate a download).

It should be possible to quickly and easily change the link text or replace the uploaded file with a new one.

This issue is not about embedding or previewing these documents in the content area.
