Honor ForceSendFields for query parameters

 ### Breaking Changes
 
+* Query parameters listed in `ForceSendFields` are now sent on the wire when they hold a zero value. Previously `ForceSendFields` had no effect on query parameters (only JSON body fields were honored), so such a parameter was silently omitted; it is now serialized with its explicit value (for example `cascade=false`). Callers that unknowingly relied on the previous no-op behavior will now send the parameter.
+
 ### New Features and Improvements
 
 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* Honor `ForceSendFields` for query parameters, including fields nested inside request sub-structs. A zero-valued scalar field (for example a `false` bool such as `cascade` on the pipelines Delete request) listed in `ForceSendFields` is now sent on the wire instead of being dropped by the `url` tag's `omitempty`, matching the existing behavior for JSON request bodies.
