[Bug]: ignore_default_args is broken #3005

@Devpmin

Description

@Devpmin

Version

1.48.0

Steps to reproduce

when launching browser, (checked on firefox, chrome, chromium) with ignore_default_args=True or False, getting error
playwright._impl._errors.Error: BrowserType.launch: ignore_default_args: expected array, got boolean

Expected behavior

it was supposed to disable all default args set by playwright on the browser launch, but its not accepting booleans. only list or arrays are accepted

Actual behavior

-> browser = await browser_type.launch(**launch_args)
(Pdb) launch_args
{'headless': False, 'channel': 'chrome', 'proxy': {'server': '<servver-ip'}, 'args': BoxList([]), 'chromium_sandbox': False, 'firefox_user_prefs': Box({}), 'slow_mo': 0.0, 'timeout': 30000.0, 'ignore_default_args': False}
(Pdb) n
playwright._impl._errors.Error: BrowserType.launch: ignore_default_args: expected array, got boolean

Additional context

in the documentation of playwright for python, its said that bool or list is accepted as argument of ignore_default_args. but its returning an error on providing bool. also there is no other option to avoid all args given by default.
