[dancer-users] Doc bug: params() return value

This page claims params() returns a hashref, always:

	https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer::Request#params

Not true.  It only does so in scalar context.  Thus:

     myfunction(params);

will pass myfunction a hash which gets flattened to an array, not a 
hashref.  The fix is myfunction(scalar params);

Also, this link from that section:

	https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer::Request#params-source

is missing the "-source" bit at the end.

(The latter link does document this behavior of params(), but that 
didn't stop me from banging my head against a wall for an hour or two 
while I still believed what the first page said.)
