Bug attachments with same name are hard to distinguish

Bug Description

When a bug has multiple attachments with the same name they all end up in the side bar, displayed identically. This makes it hard to choose the right one, and likely prone to error. For an example please look at this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345472

I'm suggesting that the latest be normal, and the others be desaturated other otherwise deminished in appearance as it's likely in this case that additional files are updates of the original.

Thank you.

My guess is that we should:
- Show the date uploaded and user per file
- If the same user uploads a file with the same name, I think we should ask and then overwrite it

Changed in malone:
importance: Undecided → Low
