provide preview of actual data on data record page (could be combined with extent preview) #3

this could be using the large thumbnails that are manually created and then uploaded into Geonetwork, or even better, just access a file (geotiff) within /CKAN_data and display via the extent preview map with some default colors.

Accessing the thumbnails/previews via GeoNetwork V2.6 is a no-go, we'd need to upgrade to V2.10 before seeing if that's possible.

However, pointing to a preview image on demeter would totally work and that's way, way simpler in terms of coding. We'll already have the endpoint to our data directory inside GeoNetwork, so if we always have a file named 'preview.gtiff' or similar, we should be good. (Note that we may need to use non-referenced JPEG and just use Leaflet's imageOverlay to do this in a very low-friction way).

Worth a try! I'm going to give one a go today.
