fix: handle parameters for view filters

[jorwoods]

Closes#1632

Parameters need to be prefixed with "vf_Parameters." in order to be properly registered as setting a parameter value. This PR adds that prefix where it was missing, but leaves parameter names that already included the prefix unmodified.

[Copilot]

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds automatic prefixing of parameter names with vf_Parameters. to ensure consistent formatting when using the parameter() method. The changes handle three scenarios: plain parameter names get the full prefix added, names starting with "Parameters." get "vf_" prepended, and names already prefixed with "vf_Parameters." are left unchanged.

• Automatic prefixing logic for parameter names in the parameter() method
• Support for flexible parameter name input formats
• Updated test cases to verify the new prefixing behavior

To restate on the PR: copilot recommends changing "vf_Parameters" to "vf_parameters". But the Tableau Server query parameter is case sensitive, so it has to be "vf_Parameters". Below is a sample script I used to test this.

importosfromdotenvimportload_dotenvimporttableauserverclientasTSCload_dotenv()
server=TSC.Server(os.environ["TABLEAU_SERVER"], use_server_version=True)
auth=TSC.PersonalAccessTokenAuth(os.environ["TOKEN_NAME"], os.environ["TOKEN_SECRET"], site_id=os.environ["TABLEAU_SITE"])
withserver.auth.sign_in(auth):
view=server.views.filter(name="test", workbook_name="Superstore", project_name="Samples")[0]
opts=TSC.CSVRequestOptions()
opts.parameter("Check", "sent")
server.views.populate_csv(view, opts)
forlineinview.csv:
print(line.decode("utf-8").strip())

This is now a stacked PR, dependent upon #1695

I was confused because this didn't change - I was just so used to using the workaround that I thought the functionality had existed already.
