Entity Browser widget does sets a value of null for entity_browser by default

Problem/Motivation

When changing Media Entity Reference Field Form Display from Image to Entity Browser, it allows to save the change but it sets entity_browser to null and it breaks content creation.

When you export configuration you can see the setting entity_browser is set to null.

Example from core.entity_form_display.node.page.default.yml:

...
field_card_image:
    type: entity_browser_entity_reference
    weight: 3
    region: content
    settings:
      entity_browser: null
      field_widget_display: label
      field_widget_edit: true
      field_widget_remove: true
      field_widget_replace: false
      open: false
      field_widget_display_settings: {  }
      selection_mode: selection_append
    third_party_settings: {  }
  field_description:
    type: text_textarea_with_summary

When you try to create content you get this error message:

TypeError: key(): Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, null given in key() (line 424 of /app/web/modules/contrib/entity_browser/src/Plugin/Field/FieldWidget/EntityReferenceBrowserWidget.php).

If you edit the widget again and change it settings to a different option and them save the display, the configuration is saved correctly. And, now you can create content.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Media Entity Reference Field
2. Edit form display and change the widget to Entity Browser
3. Save

Proposed resolution

Ensure the entity_browser settings has a initial value when selecting on form display.
