[Pydotorg-www] Disabling file attachments in the wiki?

There's a persistent spammer who's been attaching lots of HTML pages
to a page in the Python wiki.  (There seems to be a MoinMoin bug that
lets you attach files to a deleted page.)

Paul Boddie suggested disabling the AttachPages feature.  We don't use
included images very much in the Python wiki; some people attach code
snippets and there are a few PDFs.  Some examples:

Some of these seem to not be referenced, and some seem useful.  Should
we disable file attachments, and later rescue the existing
attachments to put them in some different location?
