Closes #1383
This PR is made from the April 2026 P4 LDWG meeting.
The PR explicitly disallows optional parameters in parser/control declarations and deprecates the use of optional parameters in abstract methods.
@jonathan-dilorenzo @rcgoodfellow @jafingerhut I added this sentence under Section 6.8.2. Optional parameters for now, but would there be a better place to mention deprecated features in the specification, e.g. a new section in the Appendix?
