better usage of defaultMember in PAW for v11 and v12

Hello,

there is the possibility to define defaultMember in a hierarchy.
For now, you can only use it to define a new set with mdx and saying that you need the defaultmember as well as your "general" definition of the set.

What I think, would be more comfortable for the user:
if an element is already defined as defaultMember to use it automatically in a set where this element is already part of the set as default Member to be shown in your presentation in a view as well as for the new funtionalities with member and set list from PAW_103.

and what would be also nice, to have the possibility to define the default element not only for the hierarchy but also for each set you have.
If the element is not defined for a set then the default way of presenting the element can stay, however, if you defined such an element for a special set, you should see per default your default element!

It should be valid for v11 as also for v12!

Thanks in advance!

With best regards,
Vitalij
