Default search rendering mode (list, grid, map) configurability on community & collection levels #5160

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Grid view shines in collections that have great thumbnails or nice image content.
It is not intuitive for users that they can switch to grid view for such content.

At the same time, grid view is less good when there are no thumbnails.

Same with map view: that rendering mode only makes sense if the items it renders have coordinates on them.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be amazing to have a default search rendering mode, that can be configured via Edit Community or Edit Collection. This means likely that this is not purely a dspace-angular issue, but that we should also store this preference as metadata on the community/collection object in the back end.

Describe alternatives or workarounds you've considered

Could be hard coded in config on the angular side, which might be less work, but definitely a worse alternative here.
