    Validator for files, checking the size, extension and mimetype.

    Initialization parameters:
        allowed_extensions: iterable with allowed file extensions
            ie. ('txt', 'doc')
        allowd_mimetypes: iterable with allowed mimetypes
            ie. ('image/png', )
        min_size: minimum number of bytes allowed
            ie. 100
        max_size: maximum number of bytes allowed
            ie. 24*1024*1024 for 24 MB

    Usage example::

        MyModel(models.Model):
            myfile = FileField(validators=FileValidator(max_size=24*1024*1024), ...)
