Continuing Issue #661

After force recreating thumbnails for all ETDs, #685, manually create thumbnails of ETDs where the title or cover page is not the first page.

Create thumbnail of page 1:

http://hdl.handle.net/10919/37537

Create thumbnail of page 2:

Create thumbnail of page 3 or later:

We could instead delete leading blank pages.

A possible strategy for creating these thumbnails is to:

Create a one-page PDF of the desired thumbnail and name it titlepage.pdf
Upload titlepage.pdf to the item
Run media-filter on the item
Move the reulting thumbnail up to the first position in the thumbnail bitstream list.
Delete titlepage.pdf and titlepage.pdf.txt.

By naming the thumbnail this way (different that the etd file names), it won't be overwritten if thumbnails are force recreated in the future.
