Added the defaultNorm() method to the DescriptorExtractor class. This method returns the default norm type for each descriptor type. The tests and C/C++ samples were updated to get the norm type directly from the DescriptorExtractor inherited classes.
This was reported in feature report #2182 (http://code.opencv.org/issues/2182). It will make it possible to get the norm type usually applied matching method for each descriptor, instead of passing it manually.
