DefaultMunch getter now returns None instead of DefaultValue
If a DefaultMunch has a default value of None, munch.get(attr_name, default_value) will now return None instead of default_value

```
>>> from munch import DefaultMunch
>>> d = DefaultMunch(None, {'a': 1})
>>> d.get('a')
1
>>> d.get('b')
>>> d.get('b', 'test')
>>> d.get('b', 'test') is None
True
```

This is a devastating change in behavior from the previous version:
```
>>> from munch import DefaultMunch
>>> d = DefaultMunch(None, {'a': 1})
>>> d.get('a')
1
>>> d.get('b')
>>> d.get('b', 'test')
'test'
>>> d.get('b', 'test') is None
False
```
