 xProfile Admin: use `textbox` as the default selected field type

 In [13414] the `BP_XProfile_Field::$type` variable default value was set
 to `''` to prevent PHP deprecation notices. This move generated a side
 effect on the selected default field of the select box used to define a
 new xProfile field type.

 Instead of having the `textbox` field type selected by default, the
 `checkbox` was used. The downside of this is: this field type, unlike the
 `textbox` one, needs a meta box to define option values which was not
 displayed. This meta box is only displayed using JavaScript when the
 selected value of the Field type select box has changed.
