feat: add user-level parameter autofill (#11731)

Browse Source 
This PR solves #10478 by auto-filling previously used template values in create and update workspace flows.

I decided against explicit user values in settings for these reasons:

* Autofill is far easier to implement
* Users benefit from autofill _by default_ — we don't need to teach them new concepts
* If we decide that autofill creates more harm than good, we can remove it without breaking compatibility

## Create Autofill
When the template doesn't specify default values, Coder may still autofill
parameters.
1. Coder will look for URL query parameters with form `param.<name>=<value>`.
This feature enables platform teams to create pre-filled template creation
links.
2. Coder will populate recently used parameter key-value pairs for the user.
This feature helps reduce repetition when filling common parameters such as
`dotfiles_url` or `region`.
