Always omit params member from request when empty (#67)

With this commit, the JSON encoding of `Request` always omits the params
member when calling `Conn.Call`, `Conn.DispatchCall`, or `Conn.Notify`
with the `params` argument set to `nil`. This change also removes the
`OmitNilParams` call option that was added in commit 8012d496 (#62).

As of this commit, if users desire to send a JSON-RPC request with a
`params` value of `null`, then they may do so by explicitly setting the
`params` argument of `Conn.Call`/`Conn.DispatchCall`/`Conn.Notify` to
`json.RawMessage("null")`.
