Description

Currently, on the master branch, when a schema is parsed, it is possible to define a field with a type and a default of a totally different type. E.g. if the field has type "string", the default can be set to "null".

I'd like to open a PR which will fix this by running the default through the SchemaValidator whenever a new Field is created. See https://github.com/salsify/avro-patches/pull/16
