 Currently, all Media related screens, including the 'Add media' button on
 the edit-post page, are only shown when a user has the 'upload_files'
 capability.

 This means that eg. a contributor can't insert an already existing image
 in a post.

 An additional 'use_files' capability could allow readonly access to files
 (and attachments) while blocking the upload capability.

 Alternatively, maybe the check for 'readonly access' can be done using an
 existing capability?

 This request might be similar to #19834 or #19817 but not quite...
