 `wp_dropdown_users` no longer orders results by display_name by default,
 because only the $args array passed to the function is used to determine
 which users to include.

 '''Steps to reproduce'''

 Have two users:
 {{{
 User 1: login = aaaa, display name = zzzz
 User 2: login = zzzz, display name = aaaa
 }}}

 Call `wp_dropdown_users`. Expect User 2 to be displayed first, but
 actually ordered by login.

 Two patches attached, use $r in `get_users` call and either set default to
 name or allow display_name in WP_User_Query. v2 is probably more backwards
 compatible (raises the question of backwards compatibility of other
 orderby values, e.g. just "email" now instead of "user_email". Also, the
 codex suggests "user_nicename" as a valid orderby value, but it looks like
 this, or "nicename", doesn't even work with WP_User_Query).
