Obvious Defaults for New Product Variation Types [#1864942]

To reproduce this "sort of" bug, I did the following and it consistently happened:

1. Install No Demo Kickstart 2 with all features enabled
2. Create new Variation Type
3. Add product of the new variation type
4. And get a Product page with a price, but no title, and the author information displayed.
5. This leads to the confusing problem of your product not having a title on the Product Display.

Naturally, I went to the "Manage Display" for the new Product Display (Content > Content Types > Widgets > Manage Display) and found this confusing problem:

I propose that when a new variation type is created we do two things:

1. We "reset" the title field by default
2. We "uncheck" display author information (that would be a rare use case and should default to off, not on)

The body is not displayed b/c it's not created by default.

Anyway, the title field which is attached to a newly created content type should use the same title field instance than the other content types, so that the user doesn't need to click "replace" to effectively use and display the title field on its content type.

I agree on the "uncheck" of the display of the author and created date for products.

I'm assigning that to jsacskick.
