support key-value params in JSONRPC (Refs #1)

More changes:

- remove Client interface (reason: empty)
- introduce HTTPClient interface, which can be used for both ClientURI
  and ClientJSONRPC clients (so our users don't have to create their own) (Refs #8)
- rename integration tests script to `integration_test.sh`
- do not update deps on `get_deps`
