Removing alt text from a product image no longer needs a workaround.

### 🐛 Fixes

- **Blank alt text** - a blank or whitespace-only `Image Alt Text` cell now clears the alt text instead of keeping the old value (see [Image Alt Text](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields#media-image-alt-text)).
- **Image Src** - keep the `Image Src` column in the file, because it tells the app which image the alt text belongs to.
- **Files import** - a blank `Alt Text` cell now clears the alt text of the file as well (see [Alt Text](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490237-file-fields#general-alt-text)).
