problem_statement: Duplicate preview entry in output crate
```python
import shutil
from rocrate.rocrate import ROCrate

shutil.rmtree("/tmp/out_crate", ignore_errors=True)
crate = ROCrate("test/test-data/read_crate")
crate.write("/tmp/out_crate")
```

The output crate has:

```javascript
        {
            "@id": "ro-crate-preview.html",
            "@type": "CreativeWork",
            "about": {
                "@id": "./"
            }
        },
```

but also:

```javascript
        {
            "@id": "#ro-crate-preview.html",
            "@type": "CreativeWork",
            "about": {
