ui: split the `default` arg out of **kwargs for the internal prompt method

This arg was required anyway, based on how it was accessed.  Having it separate
allows it to be typed though, and this will simplify things for the callers- if
a non-None `default` is passed, the return can never be None.  That can be
expressed with `@overload` when the arg can be typed, but that's not possible
when it is rolled up in **kwargs.

The default value is simply copied from the public `prompt()` above it.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.
