New description:

 Attachments/files should have their own set of capabilities mirroring
 those of posts, in addition to upload_files. Specifically:

 - read_attachments
 - edit_attachments
 - edit_others_attachments
 - delete_attachments
 - delete_others_attachments

 Currently, attachments rely on the edit_posts capability, which can create
 complications if you don't want your users to see the "Posts" sidebar
 item, or don't want them to be able to delete the attachments they upload.
