 This is a follow-up to #33981.

 The "width" attribute in figure has been changed to "max-width". However,
 while figcaption would inherit "width", it does not inherit "max-width".
 As a result, a figcaption that exceeds the max-width attribute in figure
 breaks left/right alignment of the figure (i.e., the caption does not wrap
 under the image). Proposed fix is to modify media.php to insert max-width
 into figcaption as well as in figure.
