Subject: 24.2.50; M-j should be bound to default-indent-new-line

A major mode can change the value of comment-line-break-function, but
currently it's only used from `do-auto-fill'. I think that doesn't make
sense, the value should affect the M-j command, too.

default-indent-new-line does pretty much that. The function could use a
better name, though - it isn't used in any variables as default value.

Inspired by bugs 6806 and 10367.
