Description

Add a setting to the config file: delete old files when using the entire quota for uploading media?
If the administrator sets "on", the old media will be deleted when the threshold value is reached.
If the administrator sets "off", then the server, if the threshold value is reached, will return the error "it is impossible to send a file" and each file will be stored for its maximum period (specified in the config)

Research direction

Start by locating the config-file handling and the server path that enforces the media-upload quota threshold. Trace how old media retention and upload errors are currently handled; done means the new setting selects deletion of old media or rejection of new files while preserving the configured maximum retention period.
