Comment (by westonruter):

 @srikat I don't think that it's feasible to supply a default image
 specifically in this way, given that the setting is expecting to model an
 integer attachment ID. The closest thing in core to what you want to do
 here I think is actually something seen in the starter content feature
 added in 4.7, where an image can be loaded into the customized state
 (changeset) and uploaded into the media library as an `attachment` with
 the `auto-draft` status. In this way, the attachment can be used as the
 default value for a given setting, but only after first uploading the
 image into the media library in that transitory state.
