[PATCH 3/3] migrations: Add the default value of Patch.state

Now that we have migration 0002 populating the db with the intial list
of states, we can add the default Patch.state value (which depends on
being able to query the state with ordering=0).

Of course, it's not that simple and I was hitting an exception

  Applying patchwork.0003_patch_state_default_value...Traceback (most recent call last):

    value = self.get_prep_value(value)
  File "django/db/models/fields/__init__.py", line 985, in get_prep_value
    return int(value)
  TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'State'

Django was trying to make an int out of the State instance returned by
get_default_initial_patch_state(). Turns out I wasn't the first one to
hit that:

  "Migration crash on ForeignKey with a callable default that returns a
   model instance"

  Source: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25129

And the solution decided by the django developers was to restrict what
callable defaults can return with ForeignKeys:

  "For fields like ForeignKey that map to model instances, defaults
   should be the value of the field they reference (pk unless to_field is
   set) instead of model instances."

  Source: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#default
