Avoid computing expensive default values when the value is overridden…

… anyways

The most expensive call at the moment is repo.get_changed_files, which
does down the drain if:
- another default_fn overrides the value
- an explicit override is given when creating the `Parameters`

With this change, the default function can return a function as a value,
which is not evaluated unless necessary.

Fixes #616
