Regression: media-type option on digital object deriv regeneration task no longer works

[fiver-watson]

Current Behavior

As part of release 2.6.0 and in preparation for the replacement of the legacy Flash-based media player, Feature #12903 was developed, adding a new --media-type option to the digital object derivatives regeneration task. This option allows users to specify a media type (e.g. audio, video, image, text, other) and limit regeneration of DO derivatives to just the selected type.

...in theory. At present, in qa/2.x (post 2.7.3 release), this option is no longer working as intended.

First reported in the AtoM user forum 2023-08-14; reproduced by DG in the AtoM-Docker local test env (on qa/2.x) 2023-08-16.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Make sure you have some archival descriptions in your test environment with digital objects of a few different media types attached (e.g. images, video, etc)
2. Run the task using the --media-type option to limit the generation to video:

php symfony digitalobject:regen-derivatives --media-type="video"

Error encountered

The task generates derivatives for ALL digital objects, rather than just the selected media type. Sample output from local testing:

dgillean@fiver-work:~/Desktop/atom-docker/atom$ DS digitalobject:regen-derivatives --media-type="video"
                                                                             
  Continuing will regenerate the derivatives for video digital objects       
  This will PERMANENTLY DELETE existing derivatives you chose to regenerate  
                                                                             
  Continue? (y/N)

Expected Behavior

AtoM will only regenerate the digital object derivatives for the selected media type

My guess is that the query here is malformed, and the condition for media-types doesn't end up after the where clause.
