This is the companion setting to canUpload, letting you control whether existing files from the asset store can be referenced. It's particularly useful when using UploadField on the front-end.
Although editing meta-data or deleting permanently would require File editing/deleting permissions, merely linking to a record does not. This change is important for allowing front-end use of UploadField; or, more importantly, use of UploadFile by people without CMS rights.
The entire framework repo (with the exception of system-generated files) has been amended to respect the 120c line-length limit. This is in preparation for the enforcement of this rule with PHP_CodeSniffer.

UploadField would default to one folder only, and wouldn't allow asset
tree traversal. HtmlEditorField MediaForm has this capability, so added
it here in a similar fashion via TreeDropdownField.
UploadField was relying entirely on the File::get_class_for_file_extension to
select a class, so it could only create File or Image objects. This
would break the relationships based on derived objects. Also make it
respect the FileField::relationAutoSetting.

MINOR Removed prototype_improvements.js and jquery_improvements.js files, now contained in individual component code (or removed altogether)
