Subject: Add TupleDescGetDefault()

This unifies some repetitive code.

Note: I didn't push the "not found" error message into the new
function, even though all existing callers would be able to make use
of it.  Using the existing error handling as-is would probably require
exposing the Relation type via tupdesc.h, which doesn't seem
desirable.  (Or even if we changed it to just report the OID, it would
inject the concept of a relation containing the tuple descriptor into
tupdesc.h, which might be a layering violation.  Perhaps some further
improvements could be considered here separately.)
