 When experimenting with the new Theme Logo system in 4.5, I noticed the
 following a11y issue:

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. In customizer, upload logo under Site Identity
 2. Add alternative text to logo in upload interface
 3. Follow on screen process to crop image

 Result:
 Cropped image does not inherit alternative text from original, and an
 option to add new alternative text is not provided as part of the
 workflow. As a result, the image file name is very likely to end up as the
 alternative text for the site logo.

 Expected:
 * Alternative text to be copied automatically to the cropped image OR
 * an opportunity be given for users to add new alt text to the cropped
 image AND / OR
 * site identity information (site title/etc) be used as alt text if none
 is provided

 There is also no easy way provided to filter the logo alt text, or fetch
 only the image, so that this issue can be worked around at the theme
 level.

 Thank you!
