HasDefaultValue type casting

[dazinator]

Steps to reproduce

Add a property to your entity that is a short, specify an integer as a default value:

entity.Property(e => e.SomeShortProperty).HasDefaultValue(3);

The issue

This worked in RC1, but in RTM:

It looks like in RTM, EF7 doesn't try to type cast, so it sees an int as an invalid value for a short.

Changing the code to this works:

entity.Property(e => e.SomeShortProperty).HasDefaultValue((short)3);

I think it would be better if the type can be safely cast, then to handle that automatically.
