Comment:

 In [changeset:"44900" 44900]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44900"
 Accessibility: improve the "URL" and "Alt text" fields in the media
 modals.

 Many users found the attachment URL field confusing: it says "URL" so it
 may appear like a field meant to paste a URL into.
 Also, the Alt text field is the most important one in terms of content,
 while the Title field needs to be de-emphasized.

 - changes the URL field label to "Copy link"
 - moves the alt text field to the top as first field
 - avoids to set initial focus on the alt text field
 - adds an explanatory text with a link pointing to the W3C "alt decision
 tree" tutorial
 - adds `aria-describedby` to target the explanatory text
 - adjusts the CSS accordingly
 - updates the QUnit index.html file

 Props melchoyce, audrasjb, afercia.
 Fixes #41612.
