Parameters: reorganise TypeHandler interface

The original design (based on Alexandrescu) is more elegant,
but has the downside to bloat the VTable size due to the mix-in
arrangement used to generate the interface.

The ongoing design has revealed a tight constraint on element size
for the parameters; thus the change to a linearised inheritance chain.

The overall purpose remains the same: the ability to generate a
double-dispatch type conversion, so that the actual value type of the
parameter can be treated as an implicit implementation detail.
