Multi-level Parameters

[nebhale]

Currently the params configuration element only allows a single level object depth. In attempt to support Slack Message Attachments, it'd be great if we could have arbitrarily deep configuration objects.

Having this ability results in messages with a bit more flash:

instead of

Currently a configuration like

---
jobs:
- name: some-job
  plan:
  - put: slack-alert
    params:
      attachments:
      - color: good
        fallback: $BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME #$BUILD_NAME has been deployed: $ATC_EXTERNAL_URL/pipelines/$BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME/jobs/$BUILD_JOB_NAME/builds/$BUILD_NAME
        text: $BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME <$ATC_EXTERNAL_URL/pipelines/$BUILD_PIPELINE_NAME/jobs/$BUILD_JOB_NAME/builds/$BUILD_NAME|#$BUILD_NAME> has been deployed

results in

error: Unexpected Response
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Body:
failed to save config: json: unsupported type: map[interface {}]interface {}
