 Currently, async-upload.php returns a big chunk of HTML on a successful
 upload, containing the form for filling in the title, caption etc.  It
 runs to around 4800 bytes.

 I've run into a situation where (for reasons unclear) ajax responses are
 truncated to about 2.5kb.  The enclosed patch changes async-upload.php to
 fix this: instead of HTML it returns the attachment ID only on a
 successful upload.  The HTML form is fetched in a separate ajax request.
 The result is the same, and -- truncation aside -- I think this is a
 slightly more elegant and maintainable approach.
