Add an interface for initialization of vars without an explicit initializer (#6934)

When a `var` is not explicitly given an initializer, initialize it in
one of two ways:

* If its type implements the new interface `Core.Default`, call
`Core.Default.Op` to initialize it.
* Otherwise, if its type implements `UnformedInit`, leave it in an
unformed state. For now, this is always an uninitialized state, but that
will change in the future.
* If neither of those apply, the `var` declaration is ill-formed.

This is a step towards implementing leads decision #6739 and proposals
#257 and #5913.
