Add "View in Mirador" link as well/instead of Universal Viewer on record pages

Currently on record pages there is a view in Universal Viewer (UV) link at the bottom of each record page:

When this was originally implemented it used UV instead of Mirador because there didn't seem to be a way to do the same kind of linkage into Mirador with a specific manifest URL. However, either that has recently changed or it was completely missed originally, but it's possible now! Here's an example:

https://projectmirador.org/embed/?iiif-content=https://data.nhm.ac.uk/iiif/resource/05ff2255-c38a-40c9-b657-4ccb55ab2feb/record/2475145

We should add a link to Mirador to the page. In my opinion Mirador's viewer is a lot nicer so I think it might be worth replacing the UV link. Another option is we avoid confusion with names and just say "Open in IIIF viewer" and link to Mirador. (this is probably a good idea).
