In a multilingual site, when creating media items via the media library widget, the created media items do not always have the same langcode as the parent entity through which they are created. The media library widget simply creates a media item without specifying a langcode, which makes the langcode default to the sites default langcode.
Since users add an alt text in the language of the parent content, this can be problematic.
Pass the langcode of the parent entity to the media library, and use it to create new media items.

A new optional langcode parameter is added to AddFormBase::createMediaFromValue. It is a protected method, but media library add forms extending the class might need to be updated.

The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.
Created a MR. Let's see if this breaks anything.
Makes sense to me.
Can we add a test case to show that behavior?
Thanks!
