SJRK-79: Image uploader won't clear preview on cancel in Edge

Description

The Image block single image uploader won't clear a previously chosen image's preview when the uploader control is opened and then canceled. This means that the manual image block editor tests are failing (step 6 in the sequence).

Two possible solutions:

1 - find a way to fix this bug in Edge

2 - if the expected behaviour is not actually desired, simply remove the code for it

Environments

Windows 10 Pro, build 16299.309
Edge 41.16299.248.0

  Confirmed still an issue in Edge 42.17134.1.0

  I think the behaviour of the image being cleared when the uploader "Cancel" button is pressed is unexpected, and I recommend the button simply closes the upload dialogue without actually making any changes to what's been chosen. I.e. if nothing has been uploaded/chosen yet, it remains such, but if an image has been uploaded/chosen, it stays and is not cleared away.

  This "issue" persists in Edge 44, cannot confirm Edge 79+ (Chromium) at this time. Firefox 74 is also presenting this behaviour, but as described above this may not actually be a problem.

  Beyond that, the work of SJRK-289 may change this behaviour, so it's worth revisiting this issue after that point.

  Finally, we are planning not to support pre-Chromium Edge in the future (affects versions 44.* and earlier), so this may not be resolved in that browser even if it is decided that this is an issue.
