Substitute variables into the alt attribute without eval-alt

[christianp]

In HTML which has JME values substituted into it, such as the question statement, you can set an attribute on a tag from a JME expression by adding eval- to the attribute name.

For example, in

<p eval-class="{classname}"></p>

the class attribute will use the value of the classname question variable.

For images, the alt attribute is set by the rich text editor, but it'd be nice to have it sub in variable values instead.

So, in DOMcontentsubber.sub_element, I think that the attribute alt should have the same behaviour as attributes matching the regex eval-(.*)
