Replace obnoxious cowbell with gentle bell tone as default hold music

Browse Source 
## Default Music Improvement
- Changed from Twilio's annoying cowbell.mp3 to gentle bell-ringing-05.wav
- Much more pleasant and professional sounding default
- Updated both settings default and code fallback

## Better Music Suggestions
- Added comprehensive list of recommended music sources in admin interface
- Suggested alternatives: WordPress Media Library, Freesound.org, Archive.org, Incompetech.com, Zapsplat.com
- Provided guidance for different business types and use cases

## User Experience
- No more jarring cowbell sounds for new installations
- Clear instructions on how to customize with better alternatives
- Emphasis on using WordPress Media Library for reliability

The new default provides a much more professional audio experience while still maintaining functionality for users who haven't customized their hold music yet.
