Parameter Options Handler

Parameter Options Handler

Proposed changes

• Implements infrastructure for the handling of optional parameters for the directives in the kernel language semantics
• Adds optional parameters for CONTEXT after rns parameters. Optional parameters are defined as key/value pairs (e.g. krns_delta=1).
• Adds optional parameters for krns_delta and num_digits. krns_delta keyword is now required (krns = rns + krns_delta) to modify krns and num_digits will be use in a future feature.
• Added test cases for invalid optional parameter formatting.

@christopherngutierrez Can you add a couple of examples using here in the discussion to show:
1. What the file looked like before this PR
2. What it looks like now (with newly required keywords)
3. An example of the optional parameters being used?

Got questions answered separately.

Non-breaking change, adds additional functionality. LGTM

Better call this file options_handler.py so not confuse/imply this files is optional.
Also make corresponding changes to the "imports" that use this file.

Everything else looks okay.
