Message:

Media: Change alt attribute field to textarea in media library.

Change the input field used for alt attributes in the media library views from a text input to a textarea. This gives users more flexibility in resizing the field for easier management of longer alt attributes.

This patch includes a less-common use of esc_attr for a textarea. This is because the primary usage of the alt attribute will be escaped using esc_attr, and the value in editing should match the value output on the front end.

Props edent, sabernhardt, afercia, JavierCasares, audrasjb, joedolson.
Fixes #50066.
