 The Media Library editor allows flipping an object and also updating image
 metadata.

 The Media / Attachments REST API `/media/{$id}/edit` endpoint is currently
 used to edit images in the block editor, but has limited capability in
 terms of editing functions.

 An incremental approach is preferred here, but a first step to enhance
 media editor capabilities as described in
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55238 Phase 3:
 Collaboration > Media Library] is to add this functionality, namely:


 - the ability to flip an image horizontally and vertically
 - the ability to send arguments to update the new image's caption,
 description, and title, post and alt_text fields.


 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/71861 Gutenberg PR 71861] is
 underway, which will be followed by a Core backport patch.
