Add HELPDESK_ENABLE_ATTACHMENTS setting and make it show/hide attachment related UI

Default setting is false. This is not backward compatible.

By default they are served without access control.  Currently there is
no simple feature to configure access control.  To avoid unintentional
disclosure attachments should be an opt in: you have been warned.
