Subject: [PATCH] fix(install): remove ALTER TABLE DEFAULT '' that breaks
 plugin installs

The preflight ALTER TABLE set element column to DEFAULT '', causing
Joomla to install sub-extension files to plugins/{group}/ root instead
of plugins/{group}/{element}/. This overwrote services/provider.php
across plugins, causing fatal class-not-found errors on every page.
