Ryan Lortie c18462b580 GParamSpec: add g_param_spec_get_default_value()
The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.

This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().

Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.

This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.
