I think we've already given too much thought to something that should be
simple, so I've done what you say: there's now no customizable face or
variable, just a function `help-default-arg-highlight'.  The NEWS entry
explains that the user should redefine the function if he's not
satisfied with the default.

The default, by the way, is lowercase italics if
display-supports-face-attributes-p says that the display supports it,
uppercase normal (non-italics) otherwise.

I'd suggest to leave the issue to rest and come back to it only if a
problem is found.
