Description

Hi,
can we make the media upload field to prevent image overwriting, while uploading a file with already present name? I know that it's possible to add own file upload field and set `avoid_overwriting` to `true`, but why it's not by default on page media? Is there any reason why to not do that? I think that would be way more user friendly than overwriting already uploaded files.

Research direction

Start by tracing the page media upload entry point and compare it with the existing `avoid_overwriting` option for custom upload fields. Confirm the desired behavior for an upload whose filename already exists, then verify that existing files are preserved and new uploads receive distinct names.
