This pull request is to have indexes in query parameter names where values are array, it fixes following issue:
When a GET request contains such an array
```
let dict: [String : Any] = [
"boundingbox": [["coord1", "coord2"]]
]
```
Here is an error in URL:
swifthttp.com?boundingbox[][]=coord1&boundingbox[][]=coord2
Instead of 1 root element, server reads this parameter as 2 root elements, as seen below
Array (
[0] => Array (
[0] => coord1
)
[1] => Array (
[0] => coord2
)
)
By adding indexes in query parameters here is the fixed URL that is produced:
swifthttp.com?boundingbox[0][0]=coord1&boundingbox[0][1]=coord2
Now server reads the 2 coordinates properly in 1 root element, as seen below
Array (
[0] => Array (
[0] => coord1
[1] => coord2
)
)

Its better to have array indexes in query parameter names, such as:
swifthttp.com?array[0]=value1&array[1]=value2It fixes an issue when a GET request contains nested arrays, like the one below:
Currently
Array.createPairsproduces names without indexes:swifthttp.com?boundingbox[][]=coord1&boundingbox[][]=coord2Which causes
boundingboxquery parameter 2 root elements, as seen belowWith this change we will have following URL:
swifthttp.com?boundingbox[0][0]=coord1&boundingbox[0][1]=coord2Now server reads the array properly as 1 root element, as seen below
