Make 'default_library' per-subproject builtin option
Currently it's just like if all builtin/base/compiler options are
yielding. This patch makes possible to have non-yielding builtin
options. The value in is overriden in this order:
- Value from parent project
- Value from subproject's default_options if set
- Value from subproject() default_options if set
- Value from command line if set
