Summary:
Add module API function to get $param_map
Detailed Description:
The $param_map is a private array of the CMSModule class that only can be *set*
by the API function SetParameterType(). But there is no function to *get* all
these parameters. This could be useful to get a list of all allowed parameters
of a module.

E.g. if module 'A' executes or redirects to a function of module 'B' you
sometimes pass a mix of parameters of both modules. So you will get this
annoying error message "Warning parameter X not know by module B". To avoid this
it would be a nice feature if you can clear all params of module 'A' before
passing them to module 'B'.

kind regards.

This is invalid... proper mechanism for this would be to use something like the
passthru mechanism that the Search module has.

i.e: passthru_OtherModule_paramname 
your code could then parse out these params and pass them to the other module...
thereby you don't need to 'get' the param map, or have a risk of conflicts.  
i.e:  with a 'summarytemplate' or 'detailtemplate' or 'detailpage' param that
are common to numerous modules.
