File formatters

Provides additional field formatters for file fields.

Currently provides the following formatters:

• Link to file (with custom title)

Differences with the approach of Media and Styles are:

• File formatters only extends the core File module. When following the approach of media and styles, you need to install the following modules: Media, Ctools, File Entity, Styles.
• The approach of the Media module needs configuration (I'm not sure how much though). With file formatters, you only need to enable the module and you can start using the formatters right away. IMHO file formatters is much easier to use for site admins, especially for people new to Drupal.
• No overhead (in terms of complexity and performance) with file formatters, the module does what it says. No more no less.
