Convert ParameterBase to common virtual interface

ParameterBase merely provides a virtual setter and getter, and also
acts as a common type which will be used to store pointers to Parameter
objects in an array, so as to enable ID-based parameter fetching and updating.

Rewrite of documentation and of the rest of the service is underway.
