Add getParameter() to IncomingMessage class to enable deep linking

Some drivers have a deep linking mechanism, that allows for passing additional parameters to the bot on startup. It could be a command that launches the bot — or an auth token to connect the user's Telegram account to their account on some external service.

class IncomingMessage
{
    /**
    * @return string
    */
    public function getParameter() {
    }
}

This function MUST return the parameter passed in the link.
