Add a util function which loads defaults from info.json files

[harshkhandeparkar]

Please describe the problem (or idea)

In #607 the default values for some modules were changed in the info.json files but subsequent changes were not made to the module.js files which led to issues like #616 in which the html renders the default value but the sequencer doesn't

Possible Solution

We could add a new util function in src/util directory which will load all the default values from ./info.json file and return an object based on those. This function can be used in any module.js file if required like for e.g

const defaults = require('../../util/getDefaults.js')();

This will be helpful as all the defaults can be managed from the module info.json files and there will be no need to manage more than a single file.
