MLE-25579 Can now specify transform params when writing a transform

[rjrudin]

When transforms did lack the power to declare
What parameters they would deign to receive,
Developers were left in dark despair,
With undocumented args they could not believe.

But lo! transformParams now graces the write,
A simple object of name and type pairs,
From xs:string? to xs:integer's might,
The query string now carries all affairs.

trans:flag and trans:count now ride along,
URL-encoded, proper, clean, and true,
The list endpoint sings a validating song,
Confirming params registered on cue.

So merge this branch with confidence and cheer,
For typed transform params are finally here!

Pull request overview

This PR adds support for specifying transform parameters with their XQuery types when registering transforms in MarkLogic. Previously, transform parameters were undocumented in the API; now developers can explicitly declare parameter names and their XQuery SequenceType declarations (e.g., xs:string?, xs:integer*) when writing a transform.

Key Changes:

• Added transformParams option to the write() method for declaring typed transform parameters
• Transform parameters are now URL-encoded with the trans: prefix in the registration endpoint
• Enhanced test coverage to verify parameter registration and retrieval via the list endpoint
