Description
Setting `allow_None` to `False` when the `default` Parameter value is `None` automatically sets it to `True`. I believe Param shouldn't be doing that, when `allow_None` is explicitly set to `False` this value should be enforced. The annoying bit being that for Parameters whose default `default` value is `None` (like `Callable` below) you'd have to provide a value that is not `None`. Unless this applies only after the Parameter has been instantiated, to allow it to be instantiated with `None` as the value for `default` with `allow_None=False`, but preventing it to be set to `None` afterwards, which I believe is what you can do now with `ObjectSelector`.
```python
import param
class A(param.Parameterized):
c = param.Callable(allow_None=False)
print(A.param.c.allow_None)
# True!
```
