 In #58582, @thomashorta reported on alt attributes missing from the XML
 RPC endpoints. Fetching that data was fixed in [56637], but adding an
 endpoint to update media that specifically handles media data like alt
 attributes requires a more substantial enhancement.

 From #58582:

 Updating MediaItems through the XML-RPC API is also done directly by the
 Posts API, more specifically through wp.editPost (codex), which also
 doesn't support an alt field. This makes sense, as this API is more
 generic, but at the same time, there are no specific updateMedia methods
 in the Media API.

 Suggestion for updating
 I'm not sure about this one, but I think a new method in the Media API
 would be needed (e.g.: wp.updateMediaItem) to properly manipulate a
 specific input struct and call the Post update functions internally.
