Takes a resource reference and name of the parameter and
returns value of resource's parameter.

*Examples:*

    define example_resource($param) {
    }

    example_resource { "example_resource_instance":
        param => "param_value"
    }

    getparam(Example_resource["example_resource_instance"], "param")

Would return: param_value
