Incorrect validation of fallback if the metric type is not explicitly configured

[salvacorts]

Report

The fallback mechanism should only work if the metric type is AverageValue, which is the default (according to the docs).

If you do not explicitly declare the metric type, KEDA prints the following error:

2024-08-02T15:01:04Z	ERROR	scaledobject-validation-webhook	validation error	{"name": "foo", "error": "MetricType=, but Fallback can only be enabled for triggers with metric of type AverageValue"}****

Expected Behavior

KEDA should interpret an empty metricType as the default AverageValue.

Actual Behavior

KEDA prints an error

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a ScaledObject with fallback enabled (but without explicitly declaring the metricType of the scaler)
2. Error is printed
