REST API: Media `caption` and `description` should have rendered/raw properties

Description

Previously discussed at ​https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/pull/2298, but I believe the decision there is incorrect: attachments have a post page just like posts, and wpautop and other rendering filters are applied on this page. So we need to handle "content" (description) and "excerpt" (caption) the same way for attachments.

Props @miyauchi for getting this patch started.

[With this patch], the rendered description for media items includes the <p class="attachment"> tag containing the attachment content itself. Perhaps the filters we apply to attachment description should be tweaked, and this should show up in the content property instead?

In 39154:

REST API: Change attachment caption & description to objects.

Just like excerpt and content for regular posts, these have transformations applied that can make the content significantly different from the raw value.

Props jnylen0.
