Add alt text to spacer elements
All HTML img elements should contain an alt attribute.
For decorative or spacer elements this alt text should be a blank string,
which indicates to assistive technologies that the image should not be announced.
Longer-term these spacer gifs could be replaced with empty <span> elements.
Inline-block css has been added to allow for this change in future,
however, the HTML element has not been changed for now to avoid breakage with non-default themes
(e.g. civicrm-admin-utilities WordPress plugin which replaces the default css/civicrm.css file)
