#19115: Attempting to upload a too-large theme gives a confusing error message

 When uploading a theme through the theme uploader, if the theme is larger
 than the PHP file/memory limit, the Admin panel gives the message below
 (or some variant):

 {{{
 The uploaded file could not be moved to /public_html/wp-
 content/uploads/2011/11
 }}}

 Users will assume that this is a permissions problem, trying to CHMOD
 folders to fix it unsuccesfully, weakening security, when it is actually a
 file-size problem.

 The correct error message should be:

 {{{
 "This file is too big. The maximum upload size for your server is xM."
 }}}

 I have been able to replicate.
