 I've just spent 5 minutes debugging someones site, trying to figure out
 why uploads were failing with a very specific and 'unique' error -
 `Specified file failed upload test.`.

 Turns out the hosts config has `file_uploads = Off` (They blamed WordPress
 for not being able to upload files) and Site Health was giving a nice
 green `Good` sign.

 The ini setting being disabled should perhaps show up in either the
 `Server` or `Media` categories in the Debug section, and quite possibly as
 part of a "Media upload problem" critical issue, perhaps one that also
 verified that the upload setting was set to >= 2MB or something.
