Default widgets "args" filters

[ramiy]

Not all WordPress default widgets has arguments filter. For example, recentet-posts and recentet-comments has no arguments filte.

Current arg Filters:

• Pages widget - wp_list_pages( apply_filters( 'widget_pages_args', array(...) );

• Links widget - wp_list_bookmarks( apply_filters( 'widget_links_args', array(...) );

• Archives widget - wp_get_archives( apply_filters( 'widget_archives_args', array(...) );

• Tag Cloud widget - wp_tag_cloud( apply_filters( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', array(...) );

New arg Filters:

• Recent Post widget - new WP_Query( apply_filters( ''''widget_posts_args'''', array(...) );

• Recent Comments widget - get_comments( apply_filters( ''''widget_comments_args'''', array(...) );

This way i can add new arg to recent-posts widget and recent-comments widget using simple filters (i dont like installing plugins, i prefer filters).

Would it also be useful to pass those filters the $args and/or $instance variables?

Patch refreshed. Let's get these in already.

We can decide if we want to also pass $instance and $args afterwards.
