fully commit to getPostData, getQueryParameter

[simonLeary42]

Closes #427.

This PR is at odds with #430. Marked as draft until one is chosen over the other.

It also splits off the $die_if_key_not_exists functionality from getQueryParameter into a separate function getOptionalQueryParameter, and adds the getOptionalPostData function.

I'm unsure about this because it's ugly and not actually necessary thanks to our error handler.

Pull request overview

This PR refactors direct $_POST and $_GET array access to use wrapper methods from the UnityHTTPD class. The change improves type safety and error handling by centralizing validation logic.

• Removes the boolean $die_if_not_found parameter from getQueryParameter() and creates separate getOptional* methods
• Adds new getOptionalPostData() and getOptionalQueryParameter() methods for optional parameters
• Systematically replaces direct array access with wrapper methods across multiple files
