 Changing the upload_path and upload_url_path options are pretty dangerous.
 They have the potential to break quite a bit of things, not to mention
 they have the potential of simply not working.

 In #19235, I was able to simplify wp_upload_dir() so the UPLOADS constant
 would again be 100% reliable. If you wanted to specify the exact location
 of your uploads dir, this is how you should do it, the same way you can
 move wp-content and other directories.

 There's really no good reason to show upload_path or upload_url_path in
 the UI unless the values are other than the default (wp-content/uploads or
 `''` for upload_path, and `''` for upload_url_path). With that, most of a
 section disappears, leaving just year/month folder organization.
