[Zope] Managing default_browser from the ZMI

Found it, there is a bit of code buried that says if you define a
__browser_default__ on an object (which is pretty easy to do via a mixin or
a monkey patch). This is easy to do if you want to write a custom object or
even add this in to the stock UI. However there is no simple ZMI feature as
there is meant to be defined in changes.txt.

So this bit of the changes.txt is incorrect:

"A ZMI configurable browser_default implementation has been added
to ObjectManager. You can configure browser_default for OMs via
a new "settings" management tab."

I would consider this a bug and Ive entered this into the collector
(http://collector.zope.org/Zope/643)
