Default Workspace Class Ignored

[Edward13ruf]

Bug description

The installer allows users to specify a number of workspace classes for different use cases, and one option they are allowed to set is the IsDefault, with the implication being that this is the class that Gitpod will use when none has been specified. This is not what happens however.

The ws-manager-api hard codes the default workspace class to g1-standard meaning not only can users not override this to another class, but they must also make sure they have a class with that specific name. This requirement is not documented anywhere, nor is it made clear in the installer.

Steps to reproduce

Create an installation of Gitpod without a g1-standard, but instead a different class you wish to be the default.

Anything else?

presently this can be worked around by just having your default class called g1-standard however this sets a bad precedent as future upgrades may change this value without warning and break other installations.
