`Optional` default-parsing fails for C-based callables

[Bas van Beek]

The changes introduced in #268 include a call to inspect.signature, which was done under the assuption that this function could parse all callables. Unfortunetly this is not correct, as inspect.signature will raise for callables that are defined in C (float, int, dict, etc.) and those are therefore no longer usable as Optional defaults.

Examples

In [1]: from schema import Schema, Optional

In [2]: dict_schema = Schema({
   ...:     Optional('foo', default=dict): dict,
   ...: })

in [3]: dict_schema.validate({})

[Alex Robbins]

If we can't merge that PR can we at least yank release 0.7.5? This bug seems pretty intrusive but 0.7.4 works fine.

(Or, if this project is unmaintained, it would be good to have that in the README.)
