OAC finding aid search and browse results, and default landing page view: display the "filing title" version of the collection title (<titleproper type="filing">)

In the previous OAC display, finding aid search and browse results -- as well as the main finding aid landing page -- reflected a particular version of the collection title, encoded within the EAD <titleproper type="filing">. 


The new OAC display does not leverage this data, and instead reflects (in order of availability, within the source encoding) the collection title encoded within <unittitle>, and <titleproper> as a fallback. This configuration should be re-assessed, to draw on <titleproper type="filing"> (and then <titleproper> as a fallback) if provided by contributors in the source EAD -- as the preferred version of the collection title to appear in search and browse results, and on the main finding aid landing page.
