Problem: default locations behaviour is not clear (implementation needs to be revisited) #10

See #8 for more details. #8 was merged for the MVP.

Some extra details on current problem: Right now we have one storage location defined for AIP Storage, and one for DIP Storage. But in the processing configuration, we see two possible AIP (or DIP) storage locations. One called "default location" and another called "Store AIP in standard Archivematica Directory". If this setting is left as "none" in the processing configuration, these are the two options you see when presented with the decision point during Ingest.

I have tested using both values, and both appear to work fine and store the AIP (and DIP) in the one location.
But presenting two options for one location is confusing. Minor impact overall but this should be fixed.
(it is also not clear to me whether we should be selecting the one storage location as 'default' in SS > locations -- would that resolve this problem? )

An update to my question above; I tested editing the setting for the AIP storage location (in SS > Locations) to set it to default. I still saw both entries in the drop downs (both in config and when manually running through a transfer). It isn't clear to me what the purpose of setting the default value is.
