Description

There are issues assigning `alt` values to newly uploaded media for Jetpack, via `/media/new`

To reproduce the issue, try creating a new media item with the following parameters:

```
POST https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/%site_id%/media/new
attrs[0][title]="My title"
attrs[0][alt]="My alt"
attrs[0][description]="My description"
```

title and description will be set, but not alt.
