Subjectmodule.h and moduleparam.h: more header file pedantry

well, since my last adventure with header files went over so
swimmingly, i might as well keep going. :-)

to my surprise, i learned only today that module.h includes
moduleparam.h, which flies in the face of all of the documentation
i've ever read which was adamant that i *had* to include moduleparam.h
if i was using parameters. i'm guessing this comes as a surprise to
the 400+ header files which include both unnecessarily.

so ... in a perfect world, should a module source file that doesn't
use parameters *at all* need to include moduleparam.h? as it stands
now, yes, it does, given some ugly inter-dependencies between the two
files.

so, at the very least, programmers can stop including moduleparam.h,
unless there's a cleaner way to do all that.
