 Currently when editing media metadata, you either get the modern library
 modal with the image on the left and various fields on the right. When you
 click "Edit more details" you get a blast from the past with an old-school
 version of WordPress admin where everything looks uninspired and, for new
 users, broken.

 Based on user feedback it turns out some site owners use the Attachment
 Page feature to provide contextual info, commenting, etc for media items.
 One example was a teacher who uploaded student images to a gallery, then
 had each image link to the attachment page where further information and
 images were provided in the "description" field (so the post content) and
 parents could leave comments.

 Since media items in reality are full fledged posts with their own post
 content, the media details admin view should be upgraded to a full post
 page with proper WYSIWYG editing for the Description field, custom fields,
 and ability to control things like commenting.

 This would also be an ideal place to visualize in what posts a media item
 is in use across the site.
