[ActiveStorage] Add an option to automatically replace an existing attachment for has_one_attached

Hello,

Do you think it could make sense to add an option to has_one_attached, so that any previous attachment is automatically purged (or purged later) when calling attach?

The syntax could be:


has_one_attached :attachment, previous_attachment: { :purge | :purge_later | :restrict_with_error | :restrict_with_exception }

This follows the question posted here: activerecord - How to update attachment in ActiveStorage (Rails 5.2) - Stack Overflow

What do you think?
