Lovecraft: Header image with empty alt attribute

[mmtr]

Reported in p1732711251970759-slack-C04DZ8M0GHW

Quick summary

The version of the Lovecraft theme that we maintain in wpcom does not support alt text in the header images: fbhepr%2Skers%2Sjcpbz%2Qcho%2Qgurzrf%2Sybirpensg%2Surnqre.cuc%3Se%3Q365r3p57-og

However, that's supported in the theme upstream: https://github.com/andersnoren/lovecraft/blob/eb47a204938efd43ade6d5605cfd0b048c28ac27/header.php#L162

We should port the alt text support to our version.

Steps to reproduce

• Activate the Lovecraft theme
• Go to Appearance > Customize
• Select Header Image
• Click on Add New Image
• Select an image from the Media Library that has an Alt Text
• Save the changes
• Visit the frontend
• Check the alt attribute of the header image

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
