Add optionality for parameters

This commit allows for parameters that does not require any arguments to
be provided in function calls. It changes collection syntax where
parameters are list of objects instead of primitive strings. A
parameter has now 'name' and 'optional' properties. 'name' is required
and used in same way as older strings as parameter definitions.
'Optional' property is optional, 'false' is the default behavior if
undefined. It also adds additional validation to restrict parameter
names to alphanumeric strings to have a clear syntax in expressions.

### `FunctionParameter`
- Defines a parameter that function requires optionally or mandatory.
- Its arguments are provided by a [Script](#script) through a [FunctionCall](#FunctionCall).
#### `FunctionParameter` syntax
- `name`: *`string`* (**required**)
- Name of the parameters that the function has.
- Parameter names must be defined to be used in [expressions](#expressions).
- ❗ Parameter names must be unique and include alphanumeric characters only.
- `optional`: *`boolean`* (default: `false`)
- Specifies whether the caller [Script](#script) must provide any value for the parameter.
- If set to `false` i.e. an argument value is not optional then it expects a non-empty value for the variable;
- Otherwise it throws.
- 💡 Set it to `true` if a parameter is used conditionally;
- Or else set it to `false` for verbosity or do not define it as default value is `false` anyway.
### `ScriptingDefinition`
- Defines global properties for scripting that's used throughout its parent [Collection](#collection).
