- setting the same default ranking in the solr interface as for YaCy

search interfaces if no other ranking attributes are given
- using the YaCy ranking in the GSA interface only if there was not
given a GSA-style sort attribute
- to avoid confusion about correct ranking attributes, only the default
'0'-ranking profile is used and not scenario-adopted (site, date)
because that should be configurable in the web interface before it is
used actually for ranking.
