getSymbols.google misses args changed by setSymbolLookup

[joshuaulrich]

It appears getSymbols.google only checks for symbol/name remappings. It doesn't check for user-specified defaults for any other formal arguments like getSymbols.yahoo does. getSymbols.google has the same formal arguments as getSymbols.yahoo, save index.class.
