    The get_for_filediff method for getting file attachments attached to
    diffs had a few major issues that were preventing it from functioning
    correctly.

    First, it was querying solely based on the repository, file path, and
    revision. This meant we could theoretically end up returning
    FileAttachment objects which were attached to a different review
    request than the given FileDiff. While our database schema
    theoretically would allow for a single FileAttachment to be attached to
    multiple review requests, in practice everything assumes that it's more
    of a foreign key relationship than a many to many relationship.

    Second, when a review request is created with commit history, there are
    actually multiple FileDiffs that all go into a single changed file. At
    the very least, we'll have a FileDiff for the commit and a FileDiff for
    the cumulative diff.

    When we're posting changes from RBTools, we attach the FileAttachment to
    the FileDiff corresponding to the commit. This meant that even though
    the file was uploaded, it wasn't visible in the diff viewer because we'd
    usually be looking at the cumulative diff.

    This change makes it so FileAttachment.objects.get_for_filediff will
    first try the simple case, and if that isn't found, it will check to see
    if the DiffSet is created with commit history. If that's the case, we'll
    look for the most recent FileDiff object corresponding to the given file
    and use that instead.

    Finally, we mostly were relying on this function to raise
    ObjectDoesNotExist, but we also had a case where it could return
    None. I've changed it to always return None when there are no
    matching file attachments.

    • Made some queries to filediff API resources and saw that the serialized
      attachment fields no longer contained links to file attachments
      connected to other review requests.
    • Posted a change with RBTools that included binary files. Saw that I
      could now see those files in the diff viewer.
    • Ran unit tests.
