 PLEASE do this!

 1. When you drag and drop and image to the Gutenber editor it's super
 easy, you can add your alt BUT it won't appear in medialibrary for reuse
 AND FOR SEARCH!! How to find some old photo?
 2 When you D&D several images (gallery) you can't use alt - no such a
 field. Changing alt in medialibrary has no effect on published post...

 Old versions worked perfectly with title/alt, I had no problems, but this
 new behavior... Something wrong with it.

 * also my workflow was like "write post adding photos, 50 pics for
 example, and after post is ready check all the titles/alts in ML", I mean
 changing it after in a row is more easy than change it for every single
 uploaded photo in the moment I upload
