Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Section editors don't have access to the manager so it is impossible for them to upload tumbnails at the moment. Additionally, there is a section at prepub where editors can upload article images, it would make sense to allow them uploading a thumbnail here (and maybe render the default as well)

Describe the solution you'd like
A new form input on the prepub stage where an editor can preview the default thumbnail for the issue/journal and upload an article thumbnail if required

Research direction

Start by locating the prepub stage form and its existing article-image upload flow. Check how the issue or journal's default thumbnail is selected and rendered, then define completion as editors being able to preview that default and upload an article thumbnail from prepub; add or update coverage for both paths.
