Problem/Motivation

Inline files held in <a> tags that are uploaded into "Advanced HTML/Text" elements are stored in temporary mode, and can be deleted when cron runs.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a webform with an "Advanced HTML/Text" element
2. Using a module such as Editor File Upload, upload a file into this element.
3. Examine the file in the database and see that it is marked as temporary.

If "Delete temporary files after" (/admin/config/media/file-system) is not set to "Never", the uploaded file may get deleted on a future cron run.

Proposed resolution

Broaden _webform_parse_file_uuids() to also look for linked files in <a> tags, not just inside <img> tags.

Remaining tasks

Patch, review.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

None.

Data model changes

None.

Patch attached. Changes _webform_parse_file_uuids() such that it also looks for files inside of <a> tags.

It was tempting to do exactly what _editor_parse_file_uuids() does, but unfortunately _webform_parse_file_uuids() isn't always given an HTML snippet. For instance, _webform_get_array_file_uuids() hands it YAML. As such I've also updated _webform_parse_file_uuids()'s documentation to reflect that it's designed to work with any sort of text string, not just an HTML snippet.
