Summary
Fixes #2349
When a basis is not defined for a circuit, the default basis set is the
set of gates used in the circuit. This makes total sense to me.
However, passes might add gates and the might be out of that bases. For
this reason, I'm suggesting to add the base basis (UBase and CXBase) as
part of the default basis set. If I understand correctly, the base
basis (is that their name?) is supported by every backend by
definition, so the gates that are added by the transpiler can run in
the backend.
