Problem
Some providers (like SMK) may link to quite large images in their image_url. This can cause unacceptably slow response times or even timeouts when generating thumbnails via our thumbnail service.
Description
We already have a thumbnail_url available on the Image model which we can use.
When the thumbnail_url is available, we should send this to the thumbnail service instead of the image_url. This should be a small change here:
image_url = image.thumbnail or image.url
(using the serialized field names)
Additional context
#1450 tracks updating the SMK provider script in the Catalog to populate thumbnail_url with a link to a smaller image size.
