Default proxies validation occurs during post-parsing. The objective is to report any tcp/http-rules which could not behave as expected. Previously, this was performed while looping over standard proxies list, when such proxy is referencing a default instance. This was enough as only named referenced proxies were kept after parsing. However, this is not the case anymore in the context of dynamic backends creation at runtime. As such, this patch now performs validation on every named defaults outside of the standard proxies list loop. This should not cause any behavior difference, as defaults are validated without using the proxy which relies on it. Along with this change, PR_FL_READY proxy flag is now removed. Its usage was only really needed for defaults, to avoid validating a same instance multiple times. With the validation of defaults in their own loop, it is now redundant.
