* RFE: Capture: property prompt: default completion

I'd like us to add the ability to provide a default completion value
for a property prompt in a capture template, as already exists for a
non-property prompt.

So where at the moment we can have:

    %^{prompt|default|completion2|completion3|...}

I want, by analogy:

    %^{prop|default}p

with the remaining completions provided by the #+prop_ALL in-buffer
setting, and with the implied constraint that "default" is a member of
that set.

I'm going to take silence for consent, then. Patch attached.

Sorry, I should have mentioned this, but the patch does not apply on
master.  If you have time to merge recent changes and reformat it, I
can apply it right afterwarsds, otherwise I will try to do it myself
later this week.
