Added the defaultNorm() method to the DescriptorExtractor class. This method returns the default norm type for each descriptor type. The tests and C/C++ samples were updated to get the norm type directly from the DescriptorExtractor inherited classes.
This was reported in feature report #2182 (http://code.opencv.org/issues/2182). It will make it possible to get the norm type usually applied matching method for each descriptor, instead of passing it manually.
It has actually worked before (likely because it's inside a class),
but C++03 does disallow unnamed types as template arguments,
and there's a report that at least in one version of GCC it's
enforced: <http://code.opencv.org/issues/3278>.
It doesn't make sense to export template classes, since there's no way
the user can learn that it can import them. In fact, it is somewhat
deleterious, because every module will export every instantiation
that it uses, but doesn't inline.
