Comment:

 On why the unset() calls are there: get_attachment_fields_to_edit()
 returns all of those fields: align, caption, size choices, etc. But
 because it returns all of those fields, it is very slow. (In particular,
 image_downsize() is slow. See #22598 for how we work around that.) So
 instead, we just apply the raw filter.

 I kept the unset() calls because it is possible that a plugin could be re-
 defining some of those fields in a bad way (rather than just appending to
 the array), and we wouldn't want that, as we already handle those fields
 in newer, better ways.

 The exception is Description (post_content). We don't handle it, but it
 was something get_attachment_fields_to_edit() previously returned. Stop
 unsetting it, and now a plugin can add it back with just a few lines of
 code.
