#1207: WPTV:  Allow submission of more than one caption file by language

 When submitting a subtitle or caption file (TTML) to WordPress.tv, it is
 only possible to do so for languages where there are no existing captions.
 If there is a file already attached to the video, that language is greyed
 out on the upload page.

 For example, this vide has a French (FR) subtitle file:
 http://wordpress.tv/2015/02/27/kasia-swiderska-clients-from-hell-how-to-
 recognize-and-deal-with-them/

 On the subtitle upload page, French is greyed out and not selectable.
 http://wordpress.tv/subtitle/?video=43599

 This is a problem for anyone looking to submit an edited/updated caption
 file for that language, as it is impossible to proceed with uploading if a
 language is not specified.

 Current workaround for this is to ping an moderator in #wptv who has admin
 access to WordPress.tv, to have them manually un-attach the existing
 caption file:  https://make.wordpress.org/tv/handbook/subtitlescaptions
 /how-to-update-subtitles-on-wordpress-tv/

 Instead, it would be good to make it possible to upload a file (which is
 held for moderation in any event) even if there is one existing for that
 language.

 As an enhancement we could also show an additional comment field if the
 uploader selects a language for which we have an existing caption file, so
 the uploader can add any notes for the mods to see.
