scoop config should have a default option to allow user to return a value if no config by the name can be found

In scoop-status.ps1, we are using scoop config SCOOP_BRANCH to get the Scoop branch but if the Scoop branch is not set, then this causes issues.

Would it be possible to instead add a default like option?

scoop config SCOOP_BRANCH --by-default master or something similar?

I would vote against hardcoding a default branch. The default branch should be determined from the Git CLI itself.

This is just an example of a place of use.

There definitely are other places where common sense based defaults can and will play a role for obvious reasons.
