Looking at the previous discussion of this PR, it seemed that the patch 
review stalled on the exact wording of the error message.  I thought I'd 
pick it up again and try my hand at new wording; my take is

"call to %qD uses the default argument for parameter %P, which is not 
yet defined"

This patch also sets the default arg context when doing deferred parsing 
so that we can detect the circular case specifically and give a 
different error in that case.

Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, applying to trunk.
