Allow attachments in comments

[aramollis]

A client want to be able to add attachments to comments (like we do for proposals eg.). This is an old feature request everyone agree (see in Meta Decidim, but seems easier to implement in Awesome however. We will develop this feature in next weeks if you are agree @microstudi ?

Proposed solution

As an admin (from the backend):
I can define from Awesome "editors settings" /admin/decidim_awesome/config/editors

• You can allow attachments to comments.
• You can restrict where spaces... this should happen
• You can restrict the file types allowed (only available file types from config settings should appear here, to avoid conflicts)

As regular user (In the front):

• User could add only 1 attachment per comment for allowed filetypes with new "attachment" field
• Attachments shown as a list with minimal data (without tabs img/docs. Optional we can render a cropped thumb for images or not)
• Only logged users should access to attachments in order to discourage spam. Maybe non-logged user should be able to see there is an attachment but ask to login for access.
  

Alternatives considered
Implement in the core.

By all means @aramollis go ahead. You have our blessing. But maybe a couple of comments:
Downloading attachments should only be allowed for logged in people? to avoid turning decidim into a spam/download page
And, I think one attachement should be enough no? or you want to make galleries in the comment?

I will check with client but I think are both good points. Tx! If a user want to attach many docs can zip them.
