Description:
------------
Consider the following configuration:

- Your INI only accepts 40MB
- You set maxfilesize of a QF file element to 35MB
- Somebody uploads a file that is 60MB.

The form will validate because effectively the filesize of the temp file
is 0 (it's not there). This is unexpected behaviour. This patch will
check to see if the filesize does not exceed the INI max value or the
hidden form variable MAX_FILE_SIZE.

If it does exceed one of these, it will return false. The patched method
uses constants available from PHP 4.3.0, but they can be replaced by
integers (1 and 2, see:
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php)

if (!HTML_QuickForm_file::_ruleIsUploadedFile($elementValue)) {
return true;
}

Expected result:
----------------
false. Form should not validate if a file bigger than maxfilesize was uploaded

Actual result:
--------------
true. Because the upload never actually gets there thus the filesize is below the max allowed filesize (namely 0)

This in my opinion unexpected behaviour. If you upload a file bigger than what the maxfilesize rule was set to, the form should not validate. Regardless of any INI settings.
