Sequence Action Handler - "shareParameters" option

shareParameters allow to share parameters across child actions instead of creating cloned version to split branches.
Usage example:
# set default parameters
$parameters:
test: false
'--':
- fn: |-
parameters.test = true
- ctx:
'$.test':
inline: $ref:parameters.test
As a result of execution ctx.test will have false value, ad -- clones parameters for each of the actions. Meaning fn function that modifies the parameters will have no affect on ctx.
But, if we add $shareParameters metadata, things will change:
# set default parameters
$parameters:
test: false
'--':
# tell action to share parameters
shareParameters: true
actions:
- fn: |-
parameters.test = true
- ctx:
'$.test':
inline: $ref:parameters.test
As a result of execution ctx.test will now have true value.
Note: this is actually an anti-pattern: parameters modification is shadowed and might not be obvious. Make sure to use shareParameters only when necessary.
