Re: default for read-face-name

Please see how STRING-DESCRIBING-DEFAULT is used in `customize-face'
where "all faces" means that nil returned from `read-face-name'
forces it to use all faces.

We could keep this functionality and also allow specifying the default
face like you proposed.  It is possible to distinguish two cases
by checking if STRING-DESCRIBING-DEFAULT is a string (to be used in prompt)
or a face (for the default value).
