-------------------------------+-----------------------------
 This patch aims to add the support for default category term in custom
 taxonomies in the same way that is done for built-in taxonomies.

 The new `default_term` argument is added to `register_taxonomy()` allowing
 to define the default term `name` and optionally `slug` and `description`.
 For example:

 {{{
 #!php
 register_taxonomy( 'custom-tax', 'my-cpt', array(
    'default_term' => array( 'name' => 'My default category', 'slug' =>
 'default-category' ),
 ));
 }}}

 This way, by inserting a new `my-cpt` object without setting any `custom-
 tax` terms, the default term 'My default category' will be used for that
 taxonomy.

 The `default_taxonomy_{$axonomy}` value is used as `option_name` in order
 to save default terms id in `wp_options`.
