Bug: Image attributes don't propogate to posts, pages, products, etc

[maltfield]

This ticket is a bug report to track the effort to fix the WP bug where updating image attributes in the Media Library saves changes, but it does not actually update the image on posts, pages, and (woocommerce) products where the image was used.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Write a post
2. Create a gallery
3. Upload a random picture
4. Set caption to "test"
5. Publish Post
6. Go to Media -> Select the picture from before
7. Set caption to "changed" and save
8. Go back to post
9. Check the image
10. Image caption still shows "test" -> Should be "changed"

So if I ever update the media library with proper captions, alt text and titles it looks like they will never be updated on older posts.
