This commit introduces a new "params" module, which adds a new way
to manage command line parameters. The provided Params dataclass
is able to read the fields of its child class and produce a string
representation to supply to the command line. Any data structure
that is intended to represent command line parameters can inherit it.
The main purpose is to make it easier to represent data structures that
map to parameters. Aiding quicker development, while minimising code
bloat.
