Allow no parameters, to show overall progress

[gregmac]

Currently, if no parameters are specified, eg:

[[ProgressMeter()]]

The following error is produced:

Error: Macro ProgressMeter(None) failed

Query filter requires field and constraints separated by a "="

It would be nice to allow this to support creation of an overall snapshot-type view of status across the whole system.

Are you saying that you would like to have the ProgressMeterMacro by default aggregate the statistics for all milestones? If so, would you include Open milestones, or Open and Closed milestones?

[gregmac]

Without specifying anything, it should include everything.

There is a workaround for this, btw, which I am using now on a stats wiki page:

Overall Status: task|enhancement)?

Effectively, this includes everything, and gives a high-level global view of all tickets. It's also nice because you can click and instantly see all tickets (regardless of milestone/type/etc) in a given status. We use a workflow that includes several statuses, and the progress bars are configured to show all of these separately, so it's quite useful.

sorry, that was supposed to be:

[[ProgressMeter(type=bug|task|enhancement)]]

(In [7331]) ProgressMeterMacro: A macro call without arguments doesn't trigger an error, but shows a global progress bar instead, fixes #6060.
