Comment:

 In [changeset:"54243" 54243]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="54243"
 Media: Change alt attribute field to textarea in media library.

 Change the input field used for `alt` attributes in the media library
 views from a text input to a textarea. This gives users more flexibility
 in resizing the field for easier management of longer alt attributes.

 This patch includes a less-common use of `esc_attr` for a `textarea`. This
 is because the primary usage of the `alt` attribute will be escaped using
 `esc_attr`, and the value in editing should match the value output on the
 front end.

 Props edent, sabernhardt, afercia, JavierCasares, audrasjb, joedolson.
 Fixes #50066.
