The article card images (both layouts) and the Podman Desktop logo and Selkie mascot images on the features page were rendered without an alt attribute, so assistive technology has nothing to announce for them (WCAG 1.1.1). Add descriptive alt text to each. Signed-off-by: Aditya-132 <adityachincholkar11@gmail.com>

What this PR does
Adds
alttext to the<img>elements that were missing it, fixing a WCAG 2.1 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) accessibility gap:ArticleCard(both the featured and normal layouts): usesalt={props.title}, so the thumbnail is described by its article title.features.tsx: the Podman Desktop logo (alt="Podman Desktop logo") and the Selkie mascot (alt="Podman Selkie mascot").Other images in the codebase already pass an
alt, so these were oversights.Fixes #574
Testing
yarn buildsucceeds and generatesbuild/index.html(matching CI). Change is additive (altattributes only).
