[gen] Added param Search.default allowing to define a default Search. The default search, if present, will be triggered when clicking on the main link for a class, instead of the query that collects all instances of this class; appy.gen.Type: removed 3 obsolete params: 'index', 'editDefault' and 'optional'. For achieving the same result than using 'editDefault', one may define 'by hand' an attribute on the Tool for storing the editable default value, and define, on the appropriate field in param 'default', a method that returns the value of the tool attribute; Added Type.defaultForSearch, allowing, for some sub-types, to define a default value when displaying the corresponding widget on the search screen; added a default 'state' field allowing to include workflow state among search criteria in the search screens; removed obsolete test applications.
