Subject: [PATCH] Fix query_param_matcher not matching empty query parameter
 values

_parse_request_params calls parse_qsl without keep_blank_values=True,
so query parameters with empty string values (e.g. ?bar=) are silently
dropped. This causes query_param_matcher({"bar": ""}) to never match.

Fixes #778
