Fallback image for reusable blocks or blocks that have no image

Problem/Motivation

We are using the feature where we're automatically adding reusable blocks to the interface. It works great, but all of our other blocks use images to show what they are used for whereas the reusable blocks don't have an image. We don't need anything specific here, but it would be nice to have a fallback image so the interface looks more consistent.

Steps to reproduce

1. In the Layout Builder Browser settings form, add some block bundles for reusable blocks and save.
2. Create a reusable block in that category in the core blocks interface (/block/add?destination=/admin/content/block)
3. On a node, enter layout builder. Click "Add block" and scroll to the bottom of the list to see any reusable blocks that are available.
4. Notice that currently, there is just a text link for the reusable block.

Proposed resolution

1. Add in a fallback image and image alt into the settings form. I already have a patch in the works and will post it here after saving this issue.
2. If there are no images set for any regular block already in Layout Builder Browser or for reusable blocks, use this image path and alt as a fallback.

Remaining tasks

Upload patch and testing.

User interface changes

None.
