Thanks for the contribution!
At the moment, it can be done by user listing interpreters in
`zeppelin.interpreters` with order.
First seen in this list becomes default interpreter for the group.
for example
```
<property>
<name>zeppelin.interpreters</name>
<value>org.apache.zeppelin.spark.SparkInterpreter,org.apache.zeppelin.spark.PySparkInterpreter</value>
</property>
```
makes `%spark` default,
```
<property>
<name>zeppelin.interpreters</name>
<value>org.apache.zeppelin.spark.PySparkInterpreter,org.apache.zeppelin.spark.SparkInterpreter</value>
</property>
```
makes `%pyspark` default.
it requires user edit configuration file and restart Zeppelin. and can not
be applied to individual notebook differently. So i agree on having better way
of choosing default interpreter.
This branch let user set default interpreter name in 'interpreter' menu as
a property value. However, i think it's not very natural, because
- Choosing default interpreter 'group' is being done in interpreter
binding menu and Choosing default 'interpreter' is being done in interpreter
property setting menu. not very consistent.
- Choosing default interpreter 'group' applied per notebook. but choosing
default 'interpreter' applied per interpreter setting. it is also confusing.
My suggestion is let user drag and drop individual interpreters, in group,
inside of interpreter binding menu.
So user can set default interpreter 'group' and default 'interpreter'
together in the same menu, and both applied per notebook.
What do you think?
