Subject: [PATCH] console.lua: focus the default item after emptying the input
 line

When console is opened with selectable items and a default item, the
default item is placed at the center. But if you type something and then
clear the line, the first item becomes the selected one. Make it select
the default item and place it in the center in this case too.
