When no image description is filled in, Pleroma allowed fallbacks.
Those were (based on a setting) either the filename, or a fixed description.
Neither are good options for image descriptions imo, so here we remove this.
Note that there's two tests removed who supposedly tested something else.
But examining closer, they didn't seem to test what they claimed to test,
so I removed them rather than try to "fix" them.
This should help mitigate negative impacts related to block-retaliation
and block-circumvention when blocks become visible to the blocked party.
Instances interested in broadcasting blocks can turn this on if they
wish. This should have always been the default.

Argos Translate is a Python module for translation and can be used as a command line tool.
This is also the engine for LibreTranslate, for which we already have a module.
Here we can use the engine directly from our server without doing requests to a third party or having to install our own LibreTranslate webservice (obviously you do have to install Argos Translate).
One thing that's currently still missing from Argos Translate is auto-detection of languages (see <https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate/issues/9>). For now, when no source language is provided, we just return the text unchanged, supposedly translated from the target language. That way you get a near immediate response in pleroma-fe when clicking Translate, after which you can select the source language from a dropdown.
Argos Translate also doesn't seem to handle html very well. Therefore we give admins the option to strip the html before translating. I made this an option because I'm unsure if/how this will change in the future.

- Drop Expect-CT
Expect-CT has been redundant since 2018 when Certificate Transparency became mandated and required for all CAs and browsers. This header is only implemented in Chrome and is now deprecated. HTTP header analysers do not check this anymore as this is enforced by default. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Expect-CT
- Raise HSTS to 2 years and explicitly preload
The longer age for HSTS, the better. Header analysers prefer 2 years over 1 year now as free TLS is very common using Let's Encrypt.
For HSTS to be fully effective, you need to submit your root domain (domain.tld) to https://hstspreload.org. However, a requirement for this is the "preload" directive in Strict-Transport-Security. If you do not have "preload", it will reject your domain.
- Drop X-Download-Options
This is an IE8-era header when Adobe products used to use the IE engine for making outbound web requests to embed webpages in things like Adobe Acrobat (PDFs). Modern apps are using Microsoft Edge WebView2 or Chromium Embedded Framework. No modern browser checks or header analyser check for this.
- Set base-uri to 'none'
This is to specify the domain for relative links (`<base>` HTML tag). pleroma-fe does not use this and it's an incredibly niche tag.
I use all of these myself on my instance by rewriting the headers with zero problems. No breakage observed.
I have not compiled my Elixr changes, but I don't see why they'd break.
