Description:
------------
I found a problem connected with 'maxfilesize' rule (probably other 'file' rules too) and client side form validation. The QuickForm class generates javascript version of this rule, which is broken (contains the reference to php function!! (!_ruleCheckMaxFileSize() ) and it breakes the whole js function validate_{form name}. For this and other file rules probably there should be no js validation at all.

Reproduce code:
---------------
This broken javascript contains:

var value = frm.elements['photo'].value;
var field = frm.elements['photo'];
if (!_ruleCheckMaxFileSize('photo', value) && !errFlag['photo']) {
errFlag['photo'] = true;
_qfMsg = _qfMsg + '\n - Photo: File size must not exceed 50kb';
}

Don't use javascript for file validation.
