feat: add parameter support to SEND REST REQUEST (#193)

SEND REST REQUEST now supports passing parameter values via WITH:

  SEND REST REQUEST Module.API.GetForecast
    WITH ($latitude = toString(52.52), $longitude = toString(13.41));

Full pipeline: BSON parser reads ParameterMappings and
QueryParameterMappings arrays, DESCRIBE strips the fully-qualified
prefix and emits the WITH clause, grammar adds
sendRestRequestWithClause, writer serializes parameter bindings with
correct $Type and qualified names.
