Implement default values for flags and fields. (usnistgov#220)

During pairing on usnistgov/OSCAL#1160, we determined there will be a lot of utility to have default values when enhancing the draft version of the Rules Model. This PR implements that functionality in the Metaschema core syntax defined in the XSD. Co-authored-by: David Waltermire <[email protected]>
