[Bug 2115430] [NEW] The "Create synthetic ICC profile" feature errors with "configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'Default'" when the "DisplayCAL-synthprofile.ini" user configuration file lacks a [Default] section
Public bug reported:
## Steps to reproduce
1. Ensure that the ~/.config/DisplayCAL/DisplayCAL-synthprofile.ini file doesn't exist.
2. Launch DisplayCAL.
3. Select the "Create synthetic ICC profile" option in the Tools > Advanced menu.
## Current behavior
Program errors with the following traceback:
```text
No section: 'Default'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DisplayCAL/display_cal.py", line 12273, in synthicc_create_handler
self.init_synthiccframe()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DisplayCAL/display_cal.py", line 2393, in init_synthiccframe
config.initcfg("synthprofile", SynthICCFrame.cfg)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DisplayCAL/config.py", line 1840, in initcfg
setcfg("calibration.file", defaults["calibration.file"], cfg=cfg)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DisplayCAL/config.py", line 2093, in setcfg
cfg.set(configparser.DEFAULTSECT, name, value)
File "/usr/lib/python3.12/configparser.py", line 880, in set
raise NoSectionError(section) from None
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'Default'
```
## Known workaround
Manually create the ~/.config/DisplayCAL/DisplayCAL-synthprofile.ini
file, with the following content:
```ini
[Default]
```
## Additional information
This bug has been fixed upstream by the following commit:
