Show "Created by" read-only field in Document Edit view. Update size of TinyMCE widget in Document Edit/Create views. Change user property name to founder in Document model and update files according to this change (now founder is used in Group and Document models). Remove not used variables and imports in views/site/docs/edit.py. Refactor EditForm and CreateForm in views/site/docs/edit.py so that EditForm inherits from CreateForm and just extends it.

    Moves a file from one location to another in the safest way possible.

    First, try using ``shutils.move``, which is OS-dependent but doesn't break
    if moving across filesystems. Then, try ``os.rename``, which will break
    across filesystems. Finally, streams manually from one file to another in
    pure Python.

    If the destination file exists and ``allow_overwrite`` is ``False``, this
    function will throw an ``IOError``.
