Public bug reported:

To be accessible to screen readers, all images and image-like elements
need an alt attribute specified. This should either describe what the
image looks like or what it does (if it's an image link or button).

The following areas are affected
- Edit and delete buttons in Journal (turns out they need 'alt' rather than 'value')
- Attachments table headers in Resume (and associated block types)
- Delete buttons in Notes
- Skin previews
- File icons in "Files to download" block

Also, the top "Settings" image should have null alt text set since the
text "Settings" is immediately beside it (at the moment, screen readers
read out "Settings Settings")
