replace modifyParameters

• Remove functionality of actually modifying parameters, which could cause errors in connected components
  • RectBeam
• overrideParameters
  • Cutout
  • UChannel
  • Stool
  • ServoMount
  • maybe could be automatic in Component or Parameterized with a Function?
    • Maybe throw warning if both overridden and overriding parameters are set
• More complex "overrides", e.g.:
  • RightTriangle where any two of three edge lengths can be set to define the third
  • rectangular things with any two of {l, w, diagonal, perimeter, aspect ratio, area}
  • there may be other kinds of relationships
• checkParameters [ throw error if doesn't meet specs ]
  • call Parameter.assertValid()
  • probably already does that in Component.make() somewhere, but should verify
  • probably related to #4 (closed)
• Allow and check other constraints not handled by Parameter specs (a la old addSemanticConstraint construct via Functions)

For most overrides, overriding parameter takes precedence and changes overridden parameters if set (done). For ServoMount, we have an overridden parameter (offset) that takes precedence, and changes based on overriding parameters (center, flip, shift) if not set? We can probably flop it if necessary, but there are three overriding parameters -- how to deal when some are set and others are unset?
