APISite.is_uploaddisabled attempts an upload to determine whether uploads are enabled. Recently the API was improved to expose this information, so APISite.is_uploaddisabled can use this new metadata found in APISite.siteinfo as a more efficient mechanism when the MediaWiki site has this metadata (the old mechanism is needed for backwards compatibility).
