Update `object-alt` rule description at Deque University

See original GitHub issue

Product: axe-core documentation

Expectation: Fix object-alt rule at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.4/object-alt according to the deletion of the inner text as an alternative to an object element (see #3318)

Actual: Description still mentions :“Add alternative text to all embedded elements using either inner text, title attributes, aria-label or aria-labelledby” and the examples have not been updated.

Motivation: updated rule description

Thank you. I still do not get why we need this.

If the embedded object is a Web page, why does it need alternative text?
If the embedded object contains multimedia, why not use the alternative text embedded in the stream?
If the embedded object contains an applet, why not rely on the applet’s accessibility?
