new: validate wizard defaults like typed answers

ask_text accepted its default on Enter without running the question's
validator, so a probed upstream version like 1.0-2 or v1.0 sailed
through the whole questionnaire and crashed resolve() at the end, and
an invalid git-derived maintainer default (e.g. 'Name <>') was accepted
verbatim. ask_text now takes the validator and applies it to both typed
answers and the offered default — a default that fails validation is
withheld and an invalid answer re-asks — and all question call sites
(incl. the maintainer loop) route through it.
