* Introduce a new "default" option for asset_database in the [STORAGE] section

* This option makes OpenSim use the usual db based asset service in standalone, and the grid based one in grid mode
* The other options can (local, grid, etc) can still be used explicitly as before
* Also change OpenSim.ini.example and the surrounding explanative text
