Default argument behavior is bypassed [#1345282]

If you have an argument that gets a default (say taxonomy ID from the current content item), this behavior is never triggered because views_boxes will always pass a wildcard if no argument is present.

This patch allows you set an argument with Administrative name {do_not_pass_wildcard} in your view, to indicate to views_boxes so no argument value will be sent to the view. This should only be used for views with single arguments, or if the argument is last in the list.

This patch does not work as expected. The input for the contextual filter on the views boxes side is simply hidden when this argument is passed - making it basically always just do the default-no-argument behavior (normally hide the view).
