 Introduce `maybe_regenerate_attachment_metadata( $attachment )`. On the
 Edit Media screen, call it for Audio and Video files.

 The functions checks if the item is lacking metadata altogether. If a
 video or audio file was uploaded prior to 3.6, it does not have any
 metadata. This tries to fix it. Implements locking via a transient to
 protect against this running in parallel with another request.

 This is the minimum viable product for #26825, but leaving the ticket open
 unless this function needs to be called in other places.

 See #26825.
