In default.user, process request.raw_args into request.args, and perform the
standard check on each arg.
This will be easier in the new system (this is good feedback; thanks).
Tentatively: raw_args will be a list of raw args, rather than a string, and
will always be there. args will be a list of validated args, as now, but if
args-checking is disabled, I'll silently replace any invalid arg in args with
None.
