extend link-name for better understandability

See original GitHub issue

So there already is the rule link-name that checks if there is an accessible name for a link. This rule fails if the link contains an image with an empty / non existing alt attribute. The error message is always:

Links must have discernible text

My proposal is, that we extend this message in case of an empty / non existing alt attribute with something like:

The link contains an image with an empty alt attribute although it describes the link.

Just a follow up. I’m working with @WilcoFiers to figure out the right approach here, but might be awhile.
