XML-RPC: fields_view_get called with None as view_id => "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled"

[Olivier Dony (Odoo)]

How to reproduce, on web client revno 4310
--------------------------------------------------------
1) Configure your web client to connect to the server using XML-RPC protocol, by modifying doc/openerp-web.cfg:
     openerp.server.port = '8069'
     openerp.server.protocol = 'http'

2) Connect to any database, and open any menu bound to an action that does not hardcode the view_id to use. For example, as admin go to Administration > Companies > Companies

3) You get an error: "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled"

Analysis
----------
Looking at the traceback, the web client calls fields_view_get with None as view_id:
   (u'res.company', 'fields_view_get', None, 'search', ..., True, False)

A trivial patch is attached, but a more global check of similar cases might be useful (or perhaps a sanity check at rpc stack layer?)
