Digital Object icon default to preview thumbnail

Description

As a researcher, I would like the digital object icon to default to a preview thumbnail of the linked object. The current icon makes a lot of people automatically think that it is a broken link, and it is also problematic that the icon is justified to the right because it is too distant from its description. I would like it to default (ideally having a checkbox that the staff person can set as a default to check or uncheck) to a thumbnail preview and have it justify to the left for improved usability

Changing defaults seems to make sense to me as the image does look like a broken link. Should be a fairly easy switch to have a different default image.

There's some information about how to display an image/include a link on digital objects in the PUI at https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/103209762/Public+Interface+Documentation+for+staff#PublicInterfaceDocumentation(forstaff)-DigitalObjectButtons/Thumbnails. I'm pushing this through for consideration for the part about simplifying/changing defaults.
