Improved Parameters

[GregHib]

Currently parameters are using this concept of Extras which has a Map<String, Any>

• Introduce object Param for referencing parameters by int
• Switch Map<String, Any> back to Map<Int, Any>
• Add parameter decoding classes so that config files can be cached for faster startups
• Do config file loading in gradle to use incremental file checks instead of manual tree search

[GregHib]

maybe I should just update the existing gradle task to store the location of each file by group, then server startup checks for that file and uses it, or uses normal slow method if it doesn't exist. That just moves the time spent on walking to the gradle task.
