Allow an alternate default icon for if a post's current icon is removed.

Title:
Allow an alternate default icon for if a post's current icon is removed.

Area:
icons

Summary:
Allow a user, when choosing an icon for a post, to specify an alternate icon to be used as default *for that post only* if the first choice icon is ever removed from the account.

Description:
If I run out of icon space and decide to replace a particular icon, all the past posts using that icon revert to using my default icon -- in my case, this stained-glass dragonfly. But I keep icons in clusters by interest (by fandom, actually), and if I should have to remove most of the icons from a particular fandom for space reasons, I'd like to be able to leave behind an icon from that fandom that becomes the default for that fandom's posts, instead of my overall default icon.

I picture this as an example: I have fifteen icons related to, say, White Collar. I decide on one icon to be my default White Collar icon, and then, even if I select one of the other White Collar icons for a post, I have the option to specify "alternate default icon" and that's where I enter the default icon I want to use for White Collar posts. Then, in the future, when I want to replace my White Collar icons with icons from my shiny new fandom, I know if I leave up just that one White Collar icon, all my past White Collar posts will have it instead of my stained-glass dragonfly.
