Provide for customizing default regexp in hi-lock commands
See bug#13687 & Co. disussion surrounding this feature-let.
Let me know if the patch is OK, so that I can install it in trunk.

Requiring an additional argument `op' means that we wouldn't
be able to customize `hi-lock-read-regexp-defaults-function'
to just `find-tag-default' or `find-tag-default-as-regexp'.
I think there is no need to distinguish between different
hi-lock commands since one user would very likely prefer
the one way to get the default for all hi-lock commands,
so you could call `hi-lock-read-regexp-defaults-function'
without arguments.

I had the same thought but ended up with having an OP.
If we want to remove OP but still want the ability to choose the regexp
based on the highlighting command, then may be `this-command' can take
the place of OP.
ps: Does EmacsLisp have notion of function pointers (as in C). Here the
function pointer is not declared and the function pointer could well be
set in a .emacs file. So there is no way the byte-compiler can complain
based on arity. Does runtime check for arity? (I don't think so). May
be (i.e., technically) it is OK to call a function that takes no
argument with a single argument? I don't know. Let's see what others
think.

Committed as bzr revision 111971.
I have removed OP, updated the docstring. I have also introduced
`find-tag-default-as-regexp' in subr.el.

> Provide for customizing default regexp in hi-lock commands
Actually it's possible do the same for hi-lock commands that read faces.
I mean moving the following part of `hi-lock-read-face-name':
(defaults (append hi-lock--unused-faces
(cdr (member last-used-face hi-lock-face-defaults))
hi-lock-face-defaults))
to a new function with a name like `hi-lock-read-face-name-defaults'
where you could implement your wishes for hi-lock face auto-rotation
and auto-selection of the next default face value. In a separate
function the users would be able to modify its default behavior easily.
