Comment:

 This is a first patch to test this enhancement.

 I have created a network option in the network settings : Default Theme.
 It's a dropdown of all enabled themes in the network.

 Then, in the wpmu_create_blog, if the default theme option is set, we
 update the site option with the good theme.

 The current issue is that this option is in prior of WP_DEFAULT_THEME
 constant if it's set in the wp-config. How can we handle this ? Maybe a
 test like that :
 {{{
 if ( ! in_array ( WP_DEFAULT_THEME, WP_Theme::$default_themes ) )
 }}}

 There are others things that need to be done in my opinion to have a
 better UX :
 -In Network Admin > Themes list : Add a state "default theme" for the
 current default theme of the network.
 -In Network Admin > Add site : Allow the user to select the desired theme
 directly in the form.

 What do you think ?
