Chart.defaults/Ticks/Interaction importable (#4512)
Default options can now be accessed by importing `core/core.defaults`. The returned object acts as a singleton and is populated when importing classes that expose their own default values (meaning that importing only `code.defaults` results in an empty object). Also make `Chart.Ticks` and `Chart.Interaction` importable since existing defaults rely on these values. Add the `defaults._set` method that make easier declaring new defaults by merging given values with existing ones for a specific scope (`global`, `scale`, `bar`, etc).

Selecting the Correct Build
Chart.js provides two different builds that are available for your use. The Chart.js and Chart.min.js files include Chart.js and the accompanying color parsing library. If this version is used and you require the use of the time axis, Moment.js will need to be included before Chart.js.
The Chart.bundle.js and Chart.bundle.min.js builds include Moment.js in a single file. This version should be used if you require time axes and want a single file to include, select this version. Do not use this build if your application already includes Moment.js. If you do, Moment.js will be included twice, increasing the page load time and potentially introducing version issues.
