xsltc should use built-ins when no imported template exists

           Summary: xsltc should use built-ins when no imported template
                    exists

Saxon and Xalan use the default built-in templates when an 
apply-imports is invoked on a current node and there is no 
imported template that matches. XSLTC doesn't use the built-ins,
so in effect does nothing. This was correct according to the 
letter of the 1.0 XSLT spec.

A long time ago we around an around on this (see bug 1397). 
The 1.0 spec was quiet on this point (about what apply-imports should 
do if there iare no imported templates to use), but the 
2.0 spec is going to clearly state that you should use 
the built-ins in that case.

Since Saxon and Xalan already do it that way, it would 
be counterproductive to have Xalan change to be like 
XSLTC and then have both change when the 2.0 spec 
comes out. So I'm changing my tune and saying XSLTC 
should use the built-ins. The following conf tests should pass
when this change is made:  impincl05, impincl07, impincl18, and impincl20.
