[FAB-3025] Update ledger defaults for orderer

The current defaults for the orderer have it:

1. Use the "ram" ledger
2. Set the "file" ledger's location to /tmp which means it won't persist
across restarts.

Both of these choices are unacceptable for a production environment.
This changesets sets the "file" ledger as the default and its location
to a path outside the /tmp dir, and inline with the peer's ledger.
