 `media_sideload_image` can either return the URL of the sideloaded image
 or a full HTML tag. It should have an option to return the attachment ID
 as well.

 One use case is to sideload an image, then set it as a the
 `post_thumbnail`.

 This is currently possible via `media_handle_sideload` but requires
 duplication of the work already being done in `media_sideload_image`.
