Views argument validator [#2188171]

Currently, you can pass a country as an argument to a view, but you can't validate it. I'm actually not that concerned with "validation", but the nice thing about validating is that you can also set the view title to be the name of the country, rather than something more arcane like the iso2 code.

This patch provides that basic validator.

Any reason for this? i.e. parent::init() would be called without this anyways.

+  function init(&$view, &$argument, $options) {
+    parent::init($view, $argument, $options);
+  }

And this can be a tiny bit less verbose, and for i18n, country_property() is probably better (Defaults to the sanitized name property).

+  function validate_argument($arg) {
+    if ($country = country_load($arg)) {
+      $this->argument->validated_title = country_property($country);
+      return TRUE;
+    }
+    return FALSE;
+  }
