wp_filter_oembed_result()checks for any "unknown" oEmbed provider whether there is a fallbackblockquoteelement present for the iframe to load. If so, it hides the iframe visually and adds a generateddata-secretattribute to theiframeandblockquoteto associate them with each other. Then, thewp-embed.jsscript goes through the page looking for such elements. Once the iframe has been loaded (and thus notified thewp-embed.jsscript viapostMessage), the script makes the iframe visible and hides the blockquote.This mechanism can break when the iframe is marked to be lazy-loaded: Since the browser may interpret the hidden iframe as being irrelevant (since it's hidden), it will never load it, hence the iframe will not send the
postMessageevent to become visible.This PR ensures that such iframes do not receive the
loadingattribute and are instead kept unmodified. It also fixes a minor issue so that thewp_img_tag_add_loading_attrandwp_iframe_tag_add_loading_attrfilters no longer fire unnecessarily, and it fixes a pointless iframe test from before.Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52768
