[theme-reviewers] Feature slider default links

[Edward Caissie]

Why not use home_url() as the default link and echo it to the entry field
...
... from what I read this should satisfy both the perception the end-user
will need to change the default to something else (but now it is more
"optional") and also keep the theme "self-contained" while maintaining a
relevant resolvable link.
