 Good catch, looks like that was originally added for audio and video
 files, which should have that information extracted with getID3() library.
 Then it propagated to a few other areas. Related: comment:4:ticket:33214.

 Some history:
 * [23766] / #23673
 * [25403] / #25170
 * [34258] / #33214

 Feel free to create a new ticket to explore the idea of adding the file
 size to the metadata for any attachment.
