CX2: Fix issues adapting images

In CX2, when an image is added to the translation it appears as a broken image.

(The example translation used is "Nasothek" from English to Spanish)

We should:

Show the images instead of the broken image icons.
Overwrite the image alignment style in the translation to make better use of the available space. In CX images take a whole paragraph instead of floating next to the text paragraph. That is how they seem to work in the source article but not in the translation.

Before the above issue was present, the opposite issue was happening: image captions were not shown. They didn't appear in the source article, and they were also not added to the translation.

This is no longer happening, but it is left here to be checked as work is done in this area and avoid regressions.

(The example translation used is "Paneer" from Spanish to Catalan)

More recently, I retested and the issue was different: the caption was shown but the image appears as broken. I'll update the ticket description.

@Pginer-WMF what to do with unadaptable images? Un-adaptable images are images not present in commons.

For now, I think we can either (a) hide the problematic images from the source article, (b) adapt local images as empty content or (c) keep the broken image icon for this specific case. I have a slightly preference for (b), but all result in some confusion for users. I created a follow-up ticket (T189868) to provide provide better guidance, explain what happened and how to solve the situation.
