Fix Alt Text 1.9.1 — wp_suspend_cache_addition( true ) is never restored, degrading the object cache for the rest of every save request

1. Summary

Fix Alt Text calls wp_suspend_cache_addition( true ) at the top of its save_post, attachment_updated, add_attachment, saved_term and delete_term handlers and never calls wp_suspend_cache_addition( false ) afterward.
